A supremacia masculina do sermão do pr. Paulo Jr. Sob à luz dos pressupostos bakhtinianos: uma breve relação com a desigualdade de gênero.

Abstract

This study is an investigation about the enunciative process of the sermon “Mude suas vestes ou perca o arrebatamento”, of the pastor Paulo Jr. (SP). In the sermon, the enunciator defends the thesis that the use of “indecent” clothes by women impels man to mistake and takes him to hell, and the woman which dresses like this is compared to a prostitute. We aim to identify, in general, through the bakhtinian perspective of language, the discourse elements that approximate this sermon to ideas in favor of inequality of gender and to the rape culture, and to stablish a dialogic relation between them. As a contribution of this study, we expect to expand the discussion about gender and Christian religion; to question the positioning of Christian preachers, since they are great opinion formers; to increase the researches about the religious discourse in a discursive approach. The bibliographic research with qualitative nature had its material collected in the virtual domain; next, the audio transcription was realized to analyze the corpus. In order to answer to the questions, we elected the enunciative theory of Bakhtin/Volochínov (1999, 2011) as the main theoretical postulate. In addition, this study uses the thoughts of other specialists of the dialogic perspective of language, among whom are Fiorin (2006), Faraco (2009), Brait (2005) and Francelino (2013). We also based on Alves e Pitanguy (1981), Brownmiller (1975) and Davis (2016) to discuss about gender, feminism and rape culture.
