A construção do discurso midiático quando o estupro entra em campo

Abstract

The media are defined as a body specialized in filling a social need for information. However, according to Charaudeau (2010a), information is constructed by language, which inevitably produces a view of the world, giving it a particular meaning. Therefore, when informing, the media impose their worldview on their addresses, build value systems and produce meanings. In order to verify how media discourse constructs reality, headlines from journalistic sites will be analyzed, produced from reported speeches that refer to Brazilian soccer players involved in rape cases. The way of reporting someone else's statement can reveal the position of the information agency, which, in most cases, seems favorable to soccer players accused of crimes of this nature, reinforcing chauvinism and the rape culture. The theoretical assumptions used are concentrated in the postulates of Semiolinguistics applied to the media information contract.

Keywords: Soccer; Rape; Media information contract; Reported speech.
