Mídia e violência: os discursos construídos pelo programa de rádio Estação Direitos sobre maioridade penal

Abstract

Several Brazilian publications inform against the fragmented, superficial and decontextualized treatment when the media deals with adolescents who have committed infringments (CARLSON & VON FEILITZEN, 1999; 2002; BALLAS..., 2000; NJAINE & VIVARTA, 2005; ANDRADE, 2006; NERY, 2008; ANDI, 2005, 2011, 2012a, 2012b, 2013; ROTHBERG, 2014; VARJÃO, 2015; ESTEVES et al., 2015). By analyzing the bibliographic research, it appears that media coverage is biased negative and often violates the human rights of adolescents, guaranteed by the Statute of Children and Adolescents (BRAZIL, 1990). This type of coverage ends up generating diversified directions on the perception that Brazilian society has regarding adolescents in conflict with the law, influencing the public debate on reducing the penal age. From this context, this research defined as the object of study the Estação Direitos radio show, produced by the non-governmental organization Radio Margarida, for presenting itself with a different proposal from the allegedly commercial media. In this sense, the overall goal was to identify whether and especially how the program is countered to a dominant discourse, which permeates the collective imagination, without repeating the most common discourse used by the media, according to existing literature, on the coverage of offense and criminal responsibility. As methodology, the corpus of the research was delimited from the cut of the 5 programs that directly addressed on the subject and also issues related to it. The analysis method was the french Side of Discourse Analysis (BRANDÃO, H., 2012; FOUCAULT, 1995; MAINGUENEAU, 1987). Based on the methodology adopted, the intention was to make a correlation between the discursive formations found with the ideological formation, since the speech is one of the instances where ideological materiality is concretized (FIORIN, 1995). So this is an ex-post-facto research, which studies the fact that has already happened (PANCERA, 2009), but it helps to map an entire discursive memory regarding an already-said on the subject, which may contribute to future research in area. The final remarks indicated that the Estação Direitos station radio show, treating about legal age, managed to achieve the proposed goal which was to address the issue in a different way from the undertaken routing by the mainstream media, bringing to light, other perspectives with a targeting that went against the Statute of Children and Adolescents, despite exalting some speeches, to the detriment of others, and little to address the rights violations committed by the mainstream media. In general, it can be seen that the programs analyzed, prioritized a differentiated approach, covering speeches that have little space in media coverage.
