Representações sociais dos alunos do 9º ano sobre a mulher em publicações do Instagram: reflexões e refrações

Abstract

This work aims to bring to light the social representations of 9th elementary students about the role that society assigns to women. From there, we will deconstruct old beliefs, engaging in dialogue and arriving at the perception that women are not inferior to men and should not serve them at their pleasure. Through Bakhtin's Dialogical Discourse Analysis, we aim to make students realize that ideologies only become concrete when they are mobilized by the discursive act, making their materiality ideological. In addition, the aim is to broaden students' access to multilingualism, bringing them into contact with multimodalities and multisemioses, since we are not advocating the mere classification of discursive genres, but, according to the social sphere, that the subject chooses the style, the composition and the thematic content to be used in their discursive practice. Through contact with multiple languages, the aim is to develop students' critical literacy based on discursive responsiveness, aiming at the concreteness of the discourse. In search of results with a vision of female stereotypes or deconstruction, we rely on Bakhtin's assumptions, such as alterity, responsiveness, axiology, sign ideology and concrete utterance, aided by the Theory of Social Representations, Moscovici (2015) and female figure in Beauvoir (2019) and Hooks (2022). We identified in the representations of 9th grade students that stereotypes are sometimes strongly reinforced and sometimes deconstructed and reconfigured.
