Violência simbólica contra a mulher e a sua percepção pelos adolescentes a partir da mídia

Abstract

The present study aims to answer to a research problem that questions what is the perception of the teenagers regarding the symbolic violence against women in commercial media. Based on this premise, two hypotheses were elucidated: the first one approaches the process of naturalization of this violence from its invisibility in the social context of teenagers, as well as discussing the legitimation of male domination, considering also the female sexuality and its processes, mainly inside the school environment, place where one of the largest interactions between teenagers in the same space occurs. The second hypothesis discusses the process of commercial media trivialization on the sexist culture present in our society and how from it, male and female stereotypes are transmitted to the teenage audience through advertising. Based on the analysis of these hypotheses, it was possible to answer to the research problem with the following response: teenagers have no perception of the symbolic violence against women in commercial media, including not even in their own daily life, being used nine discoveries on the subject, based on the hypotheses, which sustain such answer. Thus, with this research we seek to bring the issue to a current theme and that emerges as a process of production of inequalities between the genders, where solutions were sought for its coping.
