Resumo: This work reflects on mediatic representation of women present in Brazilian politics, from a discursive dialogical analysis of cover stories carried out by public figures of national politics between 2015 and 2019. A parallel is made between the portrait of women in political protagonism, elected government officials, and the representation of those who occupy supporting roles regarding political performance, such as first ladies. Once contemporary syncretic texts are studied, the Bakhtin Circle dialogism (VOLÓCHINOV, 2017) appears linked to the visual-verb studies (BRAIT, 2013). The hypothesis pointed out is that, as protagonists of political practice, women are often vilified by media and, under assessments of hysterics or incompetence, the model attributed to them is of a bad witch (DWORKIN, 1974). On the other hand, when they play a supporting actor’s role, the media portrait values according to the current aesthetic standard and seems to build a narrative close to those of fairy tale princesses. Considering that every statement is part of an uninterrupted discursive current and that is necessarily limited to an ideological system (BAKHTIN, 2003), it is proposed to study the dialogical relations which constitute the investigated covers, reflecting on the stratified social roles of women, reflected, and reiterated by doing media.

Se hace un paralelismo entre el retrato de mujeres em protagonismo político y la representación de quienes ocupan roles secundarios en el desempeño político, como las primeras damas. Una vez estudiados los textos sincréticos contemporáneos, el dialogismo del Círculo de Bakhtin (VOLÓCHINOV, 2017) aparece ligado a los estudios do visual-verbo (BRAIT, 2013). La hipótesis apuntada es que, como protagonistas de la práctica política, las mujeres suelen ser vilipendiadas por los medios y, bajo valoraciones de histeria o incompetencia, el modelo que se les atribuye es el de una mala bruja (DWORKIN, 1974). Por outro lado, cuando interpretan um papel de actor secundario, el retrato mediático se valora según el estândar estético actual y parece construir una narrativa cercana a la de las princesas de cuento de hadas. Considerando que todo enunciado es parte de una corriente discursiva ininterrumpida y que necesariamente se limita a un sistema ideológico (BAKHTIN, 2003), se propone estudiar las relaciones dialógicas que constituyen las portadas investigadas, reflexionando sobre los roles sociales estratificados de las mujeres, reflejado y reiterado por los medios.Este trabalho reflete sobre a representação midiática de mulheres presentes no cenário político brasileiro, a partir de uma análise dialógica discursiva de reportagens de capa protagonizadas por figuras públicas da política nacional entre 2015 e 2019. Faz-se um paralelo entre o retrato de mulheres em posição de protagonismo político, ou seja, governantes eleitas, e a representação daquelas que ocupam papeis coadjuvantes no que tange à atuação política, como primeiras-damas. Por serem estudados textos sincréticos da contemporaneidade, o dialogismo do Círculo de Bakhtin (VOLÓCHINOV, 2017) aparece atrelado aos estudos do verbo-visual (BRAIT, 2013). A hipótese apontada é de que, enquanto protagonistas o fazer político, não raramente mulheres aparecem vilificadas pela mídia e, sob avaliações de histerismo ou incompetência, o modelo que lhes parece ser atribuído é o de bruxa má (DWORKIN, 1974). Por outro lado, quando ocupam o papel de coadjuvantes, o retrato midiático as valoriza no que tange ao padrão estético vigente e parece construir uma narrativa próxima às das princesas de contos-de-fada. Considerando que todo enunciado é parte de uma corrente discursiva ininterrupta e que está circunscrito, necessariamente, a um sistema ideológico (BAKHTIN, 2003), propõe-se estudar as relações dialógicas, contratuais ou polêmicas, que constituem as capas investigadas para, então, refletir sobre os papeis sociais estratificados às mulheres, refletidos e reiterados pelo fazer midiático.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2021-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/4067610.15448/1984-7726.2021.3.40676Letras de Hoje; Vol. 56 No. 3 (2021); 584-597Letras de Hoje; Vol. 56 Núm. 3 (2021); 584-597Letras de Hoje; v. 56 n. 3 (2021); 584-5971984-77260101-333510.15448/1984-7726.2021.3reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/40676/27383Copyright (c) 2022 Letras de Hojehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFernandes, Sofia Finguermann e 2022-02-10T19:10:35Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/40676Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2022-02-10T19:10:35Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
