Discursos sobre a mulher: estratégias em sala de aula a partir de gêneros multimodais

Abstract

In the face of a space filled with multiple discourses, it is not uncommon to observe how the figure(s) of woman/women is/are discursively portrayed, often conforming to the eagerness of a Euro-phallic-ethno-centric power field responsible not only for determining what is spoken but for solidifying and creating narratives. Understanding the challenge of breaking these discursive bubbles and fostering debate among teachers and researchers in training to critically reflect on discourses regarding representations of women, this article aims to generally revisit different experiences that took place between 2021 and 2022 through the implementation of the Extension Project 'The discursiveness of women in multimodal genres: alternatives for discussing issues of the feminine (cis/transgender),' linked to the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). For this purpose, epistemological assumptions and theoretical references from French Discourse Analysis perspectives were adopted, relying on contributions from Pêcheux, Orlandi, Dela-Silva, Carneiro, among others. Methodologically, by tracking the effects of discussions held in courses and workshops offered by the Project, it was possible to underline the relevance of an approach that was not only multidisciplinary but also embraced the idiosyncrasies of multimodal genres. Among the outcomes, it becomes evident how, through university extension, the participants started incorporating into their discursive formation elements and tools to problematize discursive materialities that speak about woman/women (cis/trans) beyond a specific power field, enhancing debates on sexism, misogyny, and homotransphobia
