Vozes que narram, vozes que silenciam: ecos do feminicídio na mídia de Campina Grande - PB à luz dos direitos humanos.

Abstract

Femicide as a social phenomenon represents the material curtailment of female existence, in addition to embodying itself in the evasion of fundamental guarantees and human dignity. Its recurrence in the social environment corroborates for misogyny and for the reaffirmation of cultural and even symbolic stigmas. Considering that this problem unfolds among the most diverse social strata, permeating all ethnicities, races, ages, generations and sexual orientations, it can be said that it bears fruit in the midst of a sexist society, permeated by the feeling of ownership of the " feminine", making it clear that their motivations are intrinsically linked to sexism and contempt for the condition of women, thus contradicting Human Rights. This study aimed to problematize violence against women, focusing on femicide, in the light of Human Rights and representations of digital and television journalistic media, in Campina Grande - PB, in the period between 2015 and 2019. The research is situated in the field of gender studies, in the approach and articulation of issues around violence and Human Rights, focusing on femicide. As a theoretical support I adopted the writings of Del Priore (2004), (2006), (2013), Saffioti (2004), Fernandes and Cerqueira (2017) and Motta (2013), scholars who provided me with strong support around the topic studied. Furthermore, I dealt with concepts such as violence, femicide, media and human rights. The methodological approach was centered on qualitative research of the case study type, in interface with bibliographic and documental research, using the method of content analysis. The corpus of the research was composed of legislation that refers to issues around femicide and Human Rights, in addition to television and digital newspaper articles, which dealt with the theme proposed for this study. From this research, I was able to problematize and, thus, understand that femicide in Campina Grande conforms in an outrageous way, because even in the face of the growth of violence against women and femicide, media, television and digital coverage in the city maintain a pattern of exposing the facts through the private field, highlighting the cases as particular situations among those involved, abstaining from the legislative and humanitarian context. I understand this exposure of feminicides in view of the fact that the violence of the executioners is especially highlighted, while the criticisms made about these cases are quite superficial or, in most cases, they do not even occur.
