O gênero da pólis :o lugar da mulher nos discursos parlamentares

Abstract

This research, entitled "The Gender of the Polis: the place of women in parliamentary speeches" aims to examine how parliamentary speeches can reveal elements of male domination, based on shorthand notes from the pre- and post-coup period of then-President Dilma Rousseff. To this end, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is adopted as the method, as proposed by Norman Fairclough, articulated with the theoretical perspectives of Pierre Bourdieu and Heleieth Saffioti. This approach allows us to examine the elements present in parliamentary representations and inform the development of analytical frameworks. Considering that some of these representations reach up to 90 pages, systematization into frameworks is necessary to condense the material. Through this organization, it was possible to identify discourses structured around biological, religious, and moral justifications, which operate as vectors for perpetuating female underrepresentation in politics, reaching a level within the political arena that hinders the presence of these women and outside the arena, discouraging their entry into political activity.
