This research discusses the relation among discourse, gender identity and violence in contemporary Brazil by highlighting the conflicts and social hierarchies present in mainstream media discourse. On that capacity, it analyzes how women are depicted in the journalistic discourse and how such regime of representation is based on a gendered symbolic violence that desqualify them in Brazilian society. The departure point of the analysis is that the ways women are represented in press discourses reveals not only acts but also a less graspable state of violence against them. The work drawns on Analysis of Discourse Theory - mainly the semiolinguistic work of Patrick Charaudeau and on an interdisciplinar analysis of gender, social representations, and violence. The basis for this analysis is newspaper Folha de S. Paulo´s coverage of the 2010 election and the first turn of Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff. The words stereotypes, ethos and metaphors are used as conceptual categories to map and classify Folha´s coverage pertaining gender and symbolic violence. The analysis sugests that the conflict between private and public space informs the ways women are portrayed by the press. Even when ocupying high rank in the social hierarchy for example being the President of Brazil women are depicted in media s discourse through hegemonic stereotypes that associate them to the private sphere (domestic work, mother, wife), and the public sphere (sexual objects). Ultimately, the work argues that symbolic violence against women is a political tool through which media dominant discourse reproduces stereotyped gender relations and reinforces patriarchal domination
