| dc.description.abstract | This research is developed within the scope of mediatization studies, focusing on the discussion about the circulation of meanings about human rights that is managed from the murder of councilor Marielle Franco, which occurred in 2018. We start from this event to observe the meanings about human rights that emerge from it, that is, how the social and political tensions on this theme are evidenced, which gain particular outline from the crossing with the communicational field in an intensely mediatized society. The analytical work focuses on circulation, understanding that it is in this space of disputes and negotiations that we can identify the ways in which actors from different fields appropriate symbolic products, giving them new outline. In Marielle's case, this process becomes evident due to the mobilization that the event generates around the councilwoman's image, but also the discussions on human rights that are configured in different media and mediatized spaces. The corpus of this research is constituted by journalistic articles published between the years 2018 and 2021, and by the communication actions of the Marielle Franco Institute. To work with the diversity of observables that we chose, we used the concept of mediatized case (WESCHENFELDER, 2019, 2020), from which the phenomena start to be observed considering the new dynamics of social and communicational organization. For the construction of the research case, we resorted to the evidence paradigm as an operation to track circulation clues, since this suggests the search and identification of the traits that characterize the object from the evidence that allow the elaboration of inferences that are produced from the tensioning with the concepts of mediatization, circulation and logic of mediatization, articulated according to the thinking of authors such as Braga (2012, 2015, 2017), Carlón (2017), Fausto Neto (2010, 2018), Ferreira (2018; 2019), Rosa (2019, 2020) and Verón (2013). Finally, we highlight the relevance of the debate on communication and human rights, understanding that circulation is the interactional space in which the perception of incompleteness of normative discourses is evidenced and tensioned by other actors and collectives hitherto invisible, who assume the work of producing meanings, asserting themselves as subjects of rights, as agents in the construction of rights in an intensely mediatized context. | en |
