| description | This paper analyzes Discourses within headlines about Gender-based violence retrieved
from the online versions of “Folha de Boa Vista” (Roraima/Brazil) and “The Sun” (United Kingdom)
newspapers. Considering that sexism and misogyny as well as damaging descriptions towards the
victims are constantly, and in most of the cases, implicitly conveyed in headlines, this research is
based on Fairclough’s and Wodak’s views of Critical Discourse Analysis that provide theoretical tools
to identify such hidden and harming messages and on Gender researcher’s perspectives, which are
essential to identify harming discourses, hence violence towards women. Through the analyses, it was
possible to see similarities and differences in the strategies adopted by each newspaper regarding to the
choice of words, the use of passive voice, the authorship of the news and the choice of representing
social actors, time and spaces. |
