Abstract

The article analyzes the circulation of meanings about news related to political gender violence involving the candidate for mayor of the Brazilian city Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sull, Manuela d’Ávila, during the second round of the 2020 municipal elections. The intention is to map and understand the communicative episodes (BRAGA, 2017), based on journalistic articles published by the UOL news portal to identify meanings that circulate on the theme of political gender violence. The research is based on the concepts of circulation and society in mediatization (Neto, 2018). Initially, a timeline was made to assist in the panoramic inferential analysis of the four episodes. Then, we used the Iramuteq lexicometric analysis software to find evidence of the main meanings in circulation through the use of word clouds. We identified four axes of transversality present in the episodes: (a) attacks against Manuela d’Ávila; (b) UOL's positioning; (c) flows beyond the news; (d) praise for Manuela d’Ávila.
