O discurso sobre o feminismo no Jornal O Globo nos anos de 1920 e 1940: aspectos do bom feminismo

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect qualitatively on the discourse about feminism in a text of the decade of 1920 and another of the decade of 1940 published in the newspaper O Globo. We sought to analyse how the printed media positioned itself on feminism and issues involving women’s rights at that time. Thus, we intended to verify how this printed media constructed/propagated ideologies (THOMPSON, 1995) about the social reality of women. For the analysis of the texts, the work relied on the theoretical approach of Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 1995, 2001 [1989], 2003, 2006 [1992]), which considers language as a social practice. The analysis of the object under study pointed to a concern of the newspaper to approach feminism in order to delimit the characteristics of what good and bad feminism would be.
