Os detentos LGBTQIAPN+ sob a ótica da Análise de Discurso materialista: uma análise da constituição dos sentidos de sexualidade e gênero nas perspectivas de reportagens e de um documentário do YOUTUBE

Abstract

This study, based on the theoretical-methodological framework of Materialist Discourse Analysis, aims to examine how journalistic reports and a documentary available on YouTube disseminate ideologies and construct meanings about the LGBTQIAPN+ population within the Brazilian prison system. The analysis will identify the discursive formations related to gender identity and sexual orientation in the selected materialities, discussing the processes of meaning production within the socio-historical context that defines the notion of discursive formation through ideology, which determines what can and should be said. The study is particularly concerned with understanding the functioning of discursive memory, not as the memory of an individual subject, but as historical memory, which enables the retrieval of prior discourses and fills the gaps in implicit meanings. Through discourse analysis, the objective is to observe the conditions of production that permeate media and institutional discourses, highlighting how ideology and social practices naturalize exclusions and silences. Additionally, the research seeks to analyze the articulation between body, image, and discourse, considering the role of discursive materialities in circulating meanings that either reinforce or disrupt stigmas surrounding incarcerated LGBTQIAPN+ individuals. The relevance of the topic lies in giving visibility to these silenced subjects and problematizing the meanings produced within media and institutional discourses. This study aligns with the theoretical perspective of Discourse Analysis, which regards language as an event and discourse as the effects of meaning between socio-historically determined points. Thus, the results demonstrate how the analyzed discourses reveal dynamics of exclusion and resistance, re-signifying meanings of subjectivity and identity for the LGBTQIAPN+ population in the carceral context.
