Entre amar e sofrer: dos afetos nos discursos em circulação nas falas de mulheres em situação de denúncia de violência

Abstract

The present research seeks to map, employing the discipline of Discourse Analysis Discourse Analysis (within the Pêcheux-Orlandi framework), in conjunction with Psychoanalysis, media theories, and theories of power, the potential significations of domestic violence in circulation, as well as the emotions at stake in the narratives of women who have experienced it within their relationships. The analysis is rooted in the examination of transcripts from 25 out of 100 discursive interviews conducted between 2017 and 2018 at the Juiz de Fora City Forum. We commence with the hypothesis that the meaning attributed by women is rich in nuances and opacity, pointing toward heterogeneity, while those found within the legal, political, and media spheres (considering campaigns, music they hear, soap operas, and news they encounter) tend toward uniformity and sense stabilization. Between 'I still like' and 'I no longer want,' resides a woman-subject of discourse grappling with the most heterogeneous and the strangest within and about herself.
