Resumo: | The imaging technologies offered by cell phones allow any common citizen to produce their own spectacles and make them public. In this paper, we focus on one of the daily events that have been widely reported in Brazil: the actions of police officers that experience a new form of policing called “Pacifying Police Unit” (“Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora”, UPP) in favelas in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Using the theoretical apparatus of Applied Conversation Analysis (ANTAKI, 2011) and studies of multimodality (GOODWIN, 2000; 2010), we conducted a multimodal analysis of a video, posted on YouTube, which records the moment when police officers face resistance of a suspect who refuses to be driven to the police station. Considering that police officers are aware that their actions are being recorded and their image of police officers are in general under constant suspicion (MUNIZ, 1998), our goal is to investigate the types of “moral cleaning” mechanisms (MACHADO DA SILVA, 2008) used by them to escape from a stigma. Based on the analysis of this case, we claim that the technological mediation makes communication seem less unilateral, through mechanisms such as the inclusion of information not captured by the cameraman and explanation of the rules that guide police officers’ actions, especially with regard to the degree of force. Making “moral cleaning” efforts, police officers try to build the image of professionals who act according to the precepts of military-police ethics, as the performance of their duties with fairness and justice. |

Nessa esteira, estão os vídeos produzidos por cidadãos que registram a ação policial em comunidades em processo de pacificação. À luz de uma abordagem da Análise da Conversa Aplicada (ANTAKI, 2011) e dos estudos sobre multimodalidade (GOODWIN, 2010), analisamos, para este trabalho, um vídeo, postado na internet, que registra a cena de condução de um suspeito à delegacia, logo após uma ação de abordagem. Considerando-se que os policiais estão cientes da gravação e conscientes de que a imagem de policial está sob constante suspeição (MUNIZ, 1998), pretende-se investigar como os policiais vão gerenciar a interação física e virtual para realizar um trabalho de limpeza moral (MACHADO DA SILVA, 2008) que possa reparar seu estigma. Como mostra a análise realizada, a mediação tecnológica favorece a disputa dos policiais pela direção/edição do espetáculo, através de mecanismos como inclusão de informações não captadas pelo cinegrafista e explicitação das normas que orientam suas ações, especialmente no que diz respeito ao uso da força. Através de um trabalho de limpeza moral, os policiais buscam (re) construir a imagem de profissionais que agem de acordo com os preceitos da ética policial-militar, como o exercício de suas funções com probidade e justiça.Universidade Federal Fluminense2016-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/3338910.22409/gragoata.v21i40.33389Gragoatá; Vol. 21 No. 40 (2016): LANGUAGE STUDIESGragoatá; v. 21 n. 40 (2016): Estudos de Linguagem2358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v21i40reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33389/19376Copyright (c) 2016 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVelasco, Amanda Dinucci Almeida BuhlerOliveira, Maria do Carmo Leite2019-08-23T11:07:13Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33389Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2019-08-23T11:07:13Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
