Resumo: The paper analyzes the establishment of punitivist discourses in society and list some linguistic and discursive strategies by which these discourses get legitimacy in media sphere. It brings remarks on the notion of punitivism, based in interdisciplinary bibliographical research. Then, the article focuses on the impact of media in spreading out and amplification of these discourses on public opinion. Based on theoretical proposals by Charaudeau (2013) on media discourse, the article analyzes news in three newspapers from Ceará from 2016 to 2020, in order to recognize linguistic and discursive strategies that praise punitivist discourses in treatment of crime news. The article demonstrates that punitivist discourse is raised by constant information of violent crime news, so that it supports itself in a fear discourse and points out to extreme solutions as hardest regimes of punishment and vigilantism. The article concludes that punitivist discourse is also supported by auxiliary discourses that aim to disseminate a positive image of security agents, in order to prevent critical on eventual abuses.

Para tanto, tece considerações sobre a noção de punitivismo, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica interdisciplinar. Em seguida, detém-se sobre o impacto dos meios de comunicação na propagação e amplificação de tais discursos e em sua influência sobre a opinião pública. Com base nas noções propostas por Charaudeau (2013) sobre o discurso nos meios de comunicação, o artigo analisa peças noticiosas veiculadas pelos jornais cearenses Diário do Nordeste, O Povo e Tribuna do Ceará, entre 2016 e 2020, com o objetivo de reconhecer os meios linguístico-discursivos por meio dos quais o discurso punitivista é encarecido no tratamento da informação sobre a criminalidade. O artigo demonstra que o discurso punitivista, estabelecido a partir da constante veiculação de notícias sobre a criminalidade violenta, sustenta-se em um discurso do medo e aponta para soluções de força, como o endurecimento de penas e as práticas de justiçamento. Por fim, o artigo conclui que o discurso punitivista ancora-se também em discursos auxiliares, que buscam transmitir uma imagem positiva dos agentes de segurança pública, tornando-a imune às críticas por eventuais abusos.Nepan Editora2023-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufac.br/index.php/mui/article/view/667010.29327/210932.11.1-12 Muiraquitã: Revista de Letras e Humanidades; v. 11 n. 1 (2023): Muiraquitã: Revista de Letras e Humanidades2525-59241807-185610.29327/210932.11.1reponame:Muiraquitã (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Acre (UFAC)instacron:UFACporhttps://periodicos.ufac.br/index.php/mui/article/view/6670/4224Santos, Francisco Ednardo Pinho dosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-08-04T00:33:47Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/6670Revistahttps://periodicos.ufac.br/revista/index.php/mui/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufac.br/revista/index.php/mui/oaimuiraquita.ppgli@ufac.br2525-59241807-1856opendoar:2023-08-04T00:33:47Muiraquitã (Online) - Universidade Federal do Acre (UFAC)false
