Resumo(s)
Em Portugal, a representação jornalística do trabalho sexual e das/os trabalhadoras/es do sexo
tem merecido pouca atenção por parte da investigação científica estando, ainda, por identificar
tendências representativas no âmbito da formulação de notícias, reportagens, e outros textos
informativos. Como consequência, os parcos esforços conduzidos neste sentido tornam difícil
a classificação e a padronização demarcadores linguísticos e doenquadramento dasnarrativas
acerca deste universo, impossibilitando, por um lado, uma possível responsabilização do
jornalismo pela perpetuação e construção de narrativas estigmatizantes e, por outro, uma
potencial mudança dessas discursividades, por forma a inverter representações estereotipadas.
Perante tal consciência, o presente relatório de estágio tem como principais objetivos i) perceber
se, e como é levada a cabo a representação do trabalho sexual e suas/seus profissionais no jornal
A Mensagem de Lisboa – por ser um órgão de comunicação social não mainstream que preza
pela representação de grupos e indivíduos habitualmente marginalizados no espaço público; e
ii) de que forma atores envolvidos no campo representativo do trabalho sexual perspetivam as
narrativas jornalísticas sobre o tema, sem deixar de procurar cruzar as percepções dos
comunicadores e o poder das normas e valores estabelecidos. Numa primeira fase, de forma a
investigar a cobertura da atividade e daquelas/es que dela se ocupam, adotou- se uma
metodologia baseada na análise de forma e conteúdo das peças publicadas na Mensagem de
Lisboa, complementada com a realização de entrevistas semi-estruturadas a jornalistas deste
jornal. Com o intuito de responder ao segundo objetivo aqui estabelecido, entrevistaram-se,
ainda, cinco atores externos – uma jornalista, duas instituições de apoio a mulheres em
contextos de prostituição e dois movimentos de trabalhadorxs do sexo.
In Portugal, journalistic representations of sex work and sex workers has received little attention from scientific research, with representative trends in the formulation of news, reports, and other informative texts still yet to be identified. Therefore, the limited efforts conducted in this direction make it difficult to classify and standardise linguistic markers and the framing of narratives about this universe, making it impossible, on the one hand, to hold journalism accountable for the perpetuation and construction of stigmatising narratives and, on the other, to potentially change these discourses in order to reverse stereotypical representations. Given this awareness, the main objectives of the present internship report are i) to understand if, and how, the representation of sex work and its professionals is carried out in thenewspaper Mensagem deLisboa – as it is a non-mainstream media outlet that values the representation of groups and individuals usually marginalised in the public space; and ii) to explore how actors involved in the field of sex work representation perceive journalistic narratives on the subject, while also seeking to cross the perceptions of communicators with the power of established norms and values. Firstly, to investigate the coverage of the activity and those who engage in it, a methodology based on the analysis of both form and content of published pieces in Mensagem de Lisboa was adopted, complemented by semi-structured interviews with journalists from this newspaper. To address the second objective established here, five external actors were also interviewed – a journalist, two institutions supporting women in prostitution contexts, and two sex worker movements.
