SUMMARY:

From the understanding of journalism as a social agent that promotes and affects certain forms of common sense and serves power as the maintainer of social structures, this dissertation proposes to critically analyze the way in which cases of violence and violations of human rights against the TRANS population are published in the newspapers, in order to understand and to question the linguistic strategies used to announce such crimes and the possible consequences of using these strategies for the debate on the subject in society. Through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), 4 news published on the G1 and UOL portals were examined, between the period from 2017 to 2021, presenting a scenario of resurgence of LGBTphobia and the legitimation of hate speech and violence, notably related to the political-electoral narrative. To guide the analytical path, the reflections presented here are anchored in the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), in the perspectives of studies on Gender and Sexuality, as well as theories on Journalism. The results indicate that journalistic discourses reproduce hegemonic gender and power relations that contribute to making invisible the identity of trans people, through mechanisms used in the production of violent meanings in/through language, producing and reinforcing stereotypes that may be responsible for maintaining the inequalities and prejudice. We believe that this study is justified in the face of a scenario of violence and rights restrictions and the neoconservatism boom that we are experiencing, in which gender, as a social control device of the greatest importance, was not left out. Therefore, it is imperative to expand research related to fixed notions about gender identities and sexuality, showing the need for discussions about the plurality of experiences of gender and sexualities and how much we still need to advance in this debate.
