Abstract

The article is based on a research developed between 2017 and 2018 seeking to understand how the current political dispute of meaning to the categories of sexual and gender violence, and hazing have been appropriate and represented by the Brazilian hegemonic media. It analyzes the construction of media narrative on gender and sexual violence in São Paulo colleges, mainly at the Faculty of Medicine. In 2014, this Faculty was party in a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry, at the Assembleia Legislativa de São Paulo. The media repercussion of these cases promoted the public naming of certain practices such as rape, sexual abuse and violence, that until recently were not necessarily meant in this way. It discusses also the possible strategies for using digital as an anthropological research field and the construction of a digital archive as a database.
