Femicides. Necropolitics. Critical discourse analysis. Black women.
Violence is a phenomenon that involves relationships between people and permeates the personal and social field, is multifaceted and has different aspects. Violence against women is a global fact with high rates of femicide and in Brazil it is a major obstacle to good living conditions, configuring itself as a serious public health problem and a violation of human rights. Despite international advances and in the legislation of several countries over the years, women have still been the target of countless types of violence, many of which result in deaths. In youth and adulthood, domestic violence manifests itself with great frequency from the beginning of the affective/sexual life, when violence is perpetrated by the partner or ex-marital partner - boyfriends, husbands and partners. It is from this context that domestic and family violence has been one of the main causes of femicide in Brazil and in different parts of the world. Thus, this research has as its question the problem: How can discourses that circulate socially collaborate to materialize a systematic culture of black women's deaths in Brazil? With the general objective of analyzing, from the different genres of discourses that circulate in society, as peculiarities and complexities that involve enunciations of necropolitics from the cultural construction of death of black women in Brazil. And as specific objectives: a) analyzed as agreed between racism, sexism and patriarchal culture in the production of discourses about femicide in Brazil; b) identify the importance of femicide as a category of power and male domination over women and its propagation and consequences in Brazilian society; c) correlate how the State, society and the existing structures of power and domination build discourses on the femicide of black women in Brazil; d) investigate how necropolitics is processed from the discourses that circulate in society. The methodology used will be Critical Discourse Analysis - ACD, from Norman Fairclough's perspective of social change and his textually oriented discourse analysis approach - ADTO, as it understands our desire to work with a corpus that encompasses all types of discourse that circulates in society.
