O discurso sobre aborto em revistas católicas brasileiras Rainha e Família cristã(1980-1990)

Abstract

The eighties represent the moment in which establishes in Brazilian media, the macro event abortion, whose polemic aspects mobilize intense discussions by the Church and the feminist movement. They reverberate in the Press in many ways, especially because of the discussions about the theme in Brazilian Parliament and the intensification of the debates by the social movements. This thesis focuses on the discourse about abortion of the catholic magazines: Rainha e Família Cristã, between 1980 and 1990, observed by the tensioning of the religious and specific values of modernity. The catholic magazines are taken by the presupposition that they reflect the contradictions in the post-conciliar Church, marked by the brunt between the progressive and the conservatives and tensioned mainly by the problematic of the institution insertion in the secular world. The analysis intends to perceive the discursive marks in this relation, structuring itself from the presuppositions of the discourse analysis to observe the designation process and discursive formation, articulated to the concepts of field, ethos of modernity and secularization and desecularization. Finally, it is concluded that the mediation process between the religious field and the mediatic field in the sphere of the catholic magazines, goes through the issues of private ethos, in which it is established a perspective of “conditioned aggiornamento” face to the modern horizon.
