Elas e o neoconservadorismo: análise da desinformação sobre aborto entre mulheres evangélicas

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze how evangelical women from the Cabanagem neighborhood, one of the neighborhoods considered peripheral to Belém (PA), position themselves on abortion and how they interact with highly visible content on the subject, in a context of misinformation and advancement of neoconservatism. The theoretical discussion is central to the abortion theme (Barrancos, 2022; Biroli, 2016), neoconservatism (Vaggione; Machado; Biroli, 2020), disinformation, post-truth and disinformation content (Gelfert, 2018; Nguyen, 2018; Wardle; Derakshan, 2017) and beliefs in the formation of moral values (Haro, 2006). As a methodological procedure, estructured and semi-structured and dynamic interviews on abortion were conducted with eight evangelical women, residents of the Cabanagem neighborhood, in Belém (PA) and active in the churches, seeking to understand their social and informational contexts and how they feel and react to content. misinformation about abortion. At the end of the analysis, was observed that the issue of abortion and misinformation on the topic is intimately linked to political, social, cultural processes that arise from sociability, education and historical processes such as the political, educational and institutional constitution of the country. Iramuteq was also used to help with the analysis process. Was noticed that religious beliefs, which compose the moral values of the research participants, combined with their perceptions of the world, were fundamental in the process of believing or not in disinformative content. As a concluding proposal for the research, was proposed the identification of the stereotypes that reverberate in the speeches of these conservative women, to become axes of dialogue to be worked on with them by progressive groups, as a way to combat disinformative content and the imaginary that invisibilizes the debate on abortion.
