Como os leitores-comentaristas se manifestam em notícias de feminicídio em comentários digitais no twitter

Abstract

With the electronic devices and Web 2.0 arrival came the biggest medias and social medias, which provided a wider interaction between producer (the press) and consumer (readers). In this paper, we analyze this interaction from comments made by readers-commentators of Twitter in pieces of news that inform feminicide cases. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to verify how users react while receiving this news. The corpus of the research is made up of 41 comments, which were selected from tweets of four pieces of news published on the microblog network Twitter, two of these are from the Folha de São Paulo’s newspaper and the other two are from Jornal O Globo. The methodology used is divided into quantitative and qualitative analysis; the quantitative analysis consists of collecting comments from the publication of the four pieces of news selected and classify their typology; the qualitative analysis corresponds to the comments content description and how the hyperlink integrates the user’s discourse. In this part of the reasearch, we consider the following studies: Paveau (2013; 2015; 2021;), with her contributions on technodiscourse, digital discourse and digital comment analysis; Araújo and Mattioli (2004), with their studies about inequality and violence against women; and Instituto Patricia Galvão (2017), with the perspective notions of gender and the feminicide concept. With the result of our analysis, we conclude that readers-commentators react to feminicide news to censor the crime or the journalistic practices. We observed that when they censor feminicide, the readers-commentators present three types of positions: (I) a disagreement review on the motive that caused the feminicide; (II) information about which are, or should be, the consequences to who committed the crime; and (III) the condolences to the families and the grief for the victim’s death. About the journalistic practices, the commentators-readers react showing their disagreement to the pictures used to illustrate the news or with the way the journalist informed the case.
