Resumo

Feminist media studies have been conducted to examine how stereotypes created by mass media contribute to popular understandings of rape culture. Because of a lack of empirical researches on gender violence In the context of migration, this article seeks to understand how the representation of refugee women In media may reinforce stigmas associated with immigration. Based on the researches of media framing and coverage of violence against women, we focused on examining the stereotypes present In this area of research, adopting the principles of Intersectional feminist media analysis. In order to achieve this goal, this study used the method of feminist critical discourse analysis, focusing on three levels of analysis: lexical-semantic, enunciative and rhetorical. The study is based on a news article published by the newspaper Le Monde on September 18, 2023. The findings revealed a dichotomy In the representation of women, highlighting the active voice of French workers, as opposed to the tendency to portray refugee women as passive victims of violence. Furthermore, the functions of the discourse reported In the news, with emphases on nationality and the violence suffered by these women, contribute to the construction of a certain portrait of these women while ignoring the centrality of their condition as asylum seekers In France.
