TALKING ABOUT THE BODY IN PUBLIC SPACE: SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF A SEXIST ONLINE POST

ANÁLISE SEMIÓTICA DE PUBLICAÇÃO ONLINE SEXISTA

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the discourse about women in the public areas in a post made in a digital social network, observing the social constructions that persist and imply in the exclusion of the feminine. As a theoretical subsidy, we used the discussions on gender, the perspectives of history and gender studies, in view of the inclusion of women in the areas of social participation, as well as considering categories of analysis from the discursive semiotics for data analysis. The body, in these speeches enunciated in public areas, is an instance of denunciation and negotiation of gender rights.
