A fórmula "ideologia de gênero" : polêmica e discurso

Abstract

This work, inscribed in the theoretical framework of French Discourse Analysis (AD), has as its main objective to discursively analyze the phrase "gender ideology" based on the hypothesis of being a discursive formula by, from its dispersion in political, media and institutional, taking into account the four constituent properties of a discursive formula in the theory of KriegPlanque (2010): having a crystallized character; enrolling in a discursive formation; having functioning as a social referent and; be endowed with a controversial aspect. The relevance of the research comes from the current sociopolitical situation, considering the re-emergence of the conservative discourse and the production of statements that, from this discursive formation (DF), began to circulate in the social discursive space. In this context, several phrases and enunciations developed to (re)designate everything that, for conservatives, are contrary to their agendas has proliferated. In the data analyzed, it is observed that the phrase “gender ideology” appears, apparently, as a reaction to gender studies (BUTLER, 1990-2003) directly impacting the functioning of institutions. In Brazil, since the dissemination of the National Education Plans in which the approach to gender diversity was mentioned, such discussion has proliferated in the social space and there has been a large circulation of expression, extending to the present day. Thus, the survey of data and its variations (for example, "theory(s) of gender", "gender issues") was carried out through the postulates of Maingueneau (2008) on the non-topical units constructed by the analyst and the route. Data collection took place from online search engines. Thus, we start from the proposition of the author Alice Krieg-Plaque (2010), in which the objective is to analyze statements that crystallize in the political space and circulate in the social situation. Therefore, the objective was to analyze the propagation of the formula, observing the meanings produced in different spaces. Furthermore, the functioning of conservatism in the production of subjectivities and in the mobilization of moral panic based on the phrase under study was explored. The research results show that the formula “gender ideology”, in addition to having its meaning disputed by different social actors and institutions, works as a mobilizer of repression and marginalization of gender studies, thus, this formula has a negative materialization and which works as an asset for conservatives in the establishment of their hegemonic agenda of social patterns of control.
