Violência doméstica entre casais do mesmo sexo: mídia digital e a divulgação dos casos no Brasil

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze how cases of domestic violence between homosexual couples in Brazil are disseminated in the written media, and for these social aspects were presented that explain how violence in its broadest sense within the social context is strongly linked to the occurrence of violence that occurs within the domestic environment, especially among homosexual couples, we sought to characterize domestic violence and its cycles of occurrence in order to better understand it. Historical aspects were also presented that demonstrate the difficulties faced by gays and lesbians throughout history, for example, persecution by the Catholic Church, homophobia, social prejudice based on heterosexism and patriarchy that views the traditional family as the one that fulfills the social roles stipulated as “correct”, in addition to the military persecution suffered by them during the dictatorial period in Brazil. Further, it was sought to show how the written media from its ideological position has an important role in the issue of the invisibility of homoaffective domestic violence, because from the information exposed, they can influence their readers to have positive or not views of groups and minorities, as is the case of homoaffectives. And finally, the analysis of reports reported by the Brazilian written media was carried out, such as: Folha Vitória, Jornal Estado de Minas, Jornal Isto É, Uol, Metrópoles, Gazeta Digital, Portal Gay 1, Portal Holofote, BBC News Brasil and O Liberal between the years 2012 and 2024 that exposed cases of domestic violence that occurred between homosexual couples in different Brazilian cities. Based on the data obtained, it is verified that even though the media report cases of homoaffective domestic violence, most of them only have the purpose of describing the cases, there is no interest in generating reflections on the seriousness of the situation, much less generating reflexões a respeito da gravidade da situação e muito menos gerar conhecimento sobre medidas de proteção e identificação de potenciais vítimas, o que contribui para que as vítimas dessa violência continuem na invisibilidade. Tendo em vista atingir os objetivos da pesquisa foram utilizados como procedimentos metodológicos de analise o materialismo histórico-dialético, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental de abordagem qualitativa.
