Resumo: This article aims to analyze the discursive making of female bodies in two pieces of news published in a big sports news website during the Rio 2016 Olympics. The analysis was based on theoretical discussions over the social and historical construction of the female body, as well as the relationship between gender and sports, considering the textual, discursive and multimodal aspects of the texts. Considering the initial objective of the research, it is important to reflect on how the media industry constructs the female body in a big sports event like the Olympics, bearing in mind the unequal history of spaces designed for men and women in sports. As main results, it is observed that there are still challenges to be faced concerning the way women and the female body are constructed in sports media, once it is common to find a reductionist perspective that associates women to family and aesthetics. At the same time, there is a progress as some pieces of news highlights the sport itself, even though bringing an exacerbated view of the myth/hero.

El análisis se apoyó en las discusiones teóricas sobre la construcción social e histórica  del cuerpo femenino, bien como las relaciones entre género y deporte, considerando los aspectos textuales, discursivos y multimodales de las noticias. Considerando el objetivo de investigación, es importante discutir sobre cómo la industria mediática construye el cuerpo femenino en un mega evento deportivo como son los Juegos Olímpicos, considerando todo el histórico desigual entre los espacios ocupados por hombres y mujeres en el deporte. Como principales resultados, es posible destacar que todavía enfrentamos desafíos en lo que se refiere a la imagen de las mujeres y del cuerpo femenino en los medios de comunicación deportiva, una vez que hay una visión reduccionista que privilegia el cuerpo estético y la familia (aspectos tradicionalmente asociados a lo femenino). Al mismo tiempo, se presentan señales de avances al poner el deporte como primer plano en algunos momentos, aunque en una visión exagerada del mito/héroe.O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a maneira como o corpo feminino é construído através da linguagem em duas reportagens publicadas por um grande portal de notícias esportivas durante as Olimpíadas Rio-2016. A análise se embasou nas discussões teóricas sobre a construção social e histórica do corpo feminino, bem como a relação entre gênero e esporte, considerando os aspectos textuais, discursivos e multimodais das notícias. Frente ao objetivo inicial da pesquisa, é importante refletir sobre como a indústria midiática constrói o corpo feminino em um megaevento esportivo como as Olimpíadas, considerando todo o histórico desigual entre os espaços ocupados por homens e mulheres no esporte. Como principais resultados, pode-se destacar que ainda enfrentamos desafios no que tangencia a imagem das mulheres e do corpo feminino na mídia esportiva, uma vez que há uma visão reducionista que privilegia o corpo estético e a família (aspectos tradicionalmente associados ao feminino), ao mesmo tempo em que sinaliza avanços ao colocar o esporte em primeiro plano em alguns momentos, mesmo que em uma visão exacerbada do mito/herói.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2018-09-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa Documentalapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/article/view/1807-1384.2018v15n3p12810.5007/1807-1384.2018v15n3p128Interdisciplinary International Journal - INTERthesis; Vol. 15 No. 3 (2018); 128-145Revista Internacional Interdisciplinaria INTERthesis; Vol. 15 Núm. 3 (2018); 128-145Revista Internacional Interdisciplinar INTERthesis; v. 15 n. 3 (2018); 128-1451807-1384reponame:INTERthesisinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/article/view/1807-1384.2018v15n3p128/37434Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Internacional Interdisciplinar INTERthesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPellim, TiagoDiniz, Irlla Karla dos SantosIvanha, Gabriele Soares2024-03-15T08:36:38Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/54908Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/oaiinterthesis@gmail.com||interthesis@cfh.ufsc.br||cimbalista@uol.com.br1807-13841807-1384opendoar:2024-03-15T08:36:38INTERthesis - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
