Mulheres com deficiência e violência de gênero: uma análise discursiva do coletivo Helen Keller

Abstract

The theme of gender violence permeates the political and social debates of the feminist struggle throughout history, addressing this issue within the context of women with disabilities is essential, as this portion of the population becomes more susceptible to suffering some type of violence as a result of his disability. Therefore, this work aims to understand how the Helen Keller Collective for women with disabilities uses digital media to combat gender-based violence. Therefore, this work was built on fundamental concepts such as digital public relations and popular communication, before conceptualizing: disability, gender violence, digital citizenship, among others. In view of this, through Michel Pêcheux's Discourse Analysis (DA), it was possible to consider, through the selected excerpts, that for the Collective the word “inclusion” refers to socialization, promoting the interaction of subjects with society and not exclusion from socializing with others. Likewise, it was possible to consider, through DA, the strong presence of Machista Discursive Formation, which, over time, has been oppressing women with disabilities, but it is, through the movement that the Collective makes in digital media, that this speech can be combated by seeking more speech spaces for women with disabilities.
