Abstract(s)
As redes sociais virtuais são um palco privilegiado para a comunicação das
mais diversas ideias entre os indivíduos, ultrapassando fronteiras físicas,
obstáculos culturais e barreiras de linguagem. A internet faz parte do quotidiano
de um número crescente de utilizadores em todo o mundo, promovendo a
partilha intercultural cada vez mais facilitada pela partilha de imagens, vídeos e
textos com tradução automática, que abrem janelas de conhecimento.
Os meios de comunicação social compreenderam a vantagem de se aliar
a esta partilha, primeiro criando os seus sites na internet e também participando
das redes sociais virtuais. As plataformas de redes sociais são usadas pelos
meios de comunicação social para uma aproximação aos leitores,
disponibilizando publicações de acesso rápido aos factos noticiados nos seus
sites, que vão muitas vezes provocar a participação dos utilizadores que os
seguem, através de comentários e republicações.
O objeto do nosso estudo incide nos comentários que os utilizadores fazem
nas publicações sobre violência de género, nos meios de comunicação social
portugueses mais lidos na internet, publicados na rede social virtual com mais
utilizadores em Portugal, o Facebook.
Através do prisma das representações sociais, a nossa análise perceciona
que o público tece considerações que refletem as suas convicções: sobre a
aplicação ineficaz da justiça e a desigualdade com que é aplicada de acordo com
o género da vítima, sobre os preconceitos, fazem revelações sobre o seu papel
pessoal na vivência do fenómeno e manifestam a sua revolta contra os
agressores. Exibem as suas representações da realidade partilhando emojis,
memes e palavras que ficam presas no ciberespaço, prontas a serem
consumidas e interpretadas por outros utilizadores que, em debate, concordam
ou contrariam o conjunto. Verificámos que os factos são transmitidos com pouco conteúdo que
caracterize os intervenientes e as circunstâncias, mas que fazem questão de
referir factores comportamentais que desacreditam as vítimas e legitimam as
agressões. Concluímos que este tipo de publicações não coopera na construção
de valores ou desconstrução de crenças sobre a violência de género.
Virtual social networks are a privileged stage where individuals can express the most diverse ideas, overcoming physical borders, cultural obstacles and language barriers. The internet is part of daily life for a growing number of users throughout the world, promoting an intercultural exchange that is increasingly facilitated by the sharing of images, videos and texts with automatic translation, thus opening up new windows to knowledge. The mass media have understood the advantage of joining this sharing, at first by creating their websites, then by participating in virtual social networks. Social media platforms are used by the mass media as a means to get closer to their readers by providing readily accessible publications of the facts reported on their websites, which often provoke their followers, leading to comments and shares. The object of our study centres on the comments that users make on the most widely read mass media posts on the Internet in this period, on the virtual social network with the most users in Portugal, Facebook, regarding news about gender violence. Through the prism of social representation, our analysis perceives that the public makes considerations about the topic that reflect their convictions on it: the lack of efficiency in the enforcement of justice and the inequality in its execution according to the victim’s gender, prejudices, revelations about their personal experience in the phenomena and express their anger towards the aggressors. They show their portrayals of reality by sharing emojis, memes and words that get stuck in cyberspace, ready to be consumed and interpreted by other users who, in turn, agree or disagree with the set. We found that the facts are conveyed with little content that defines the parties involved and the circumstances, but that reference to behavioural factors that discredit the victims and legitimize the aggressions is not only made, but emphasized. We have therefore concluded that these types of publications do not contribute to the construction of values or the deconstruction of existing beliefs about gender-based violence.
