SANTOS, Bruna Maria de Sousa and FARIAS, Washington Silva de. WHO IS AFRAID OF THE TEACHER? THE HATE SPEECH ADDRESSED TO TEACHERS IN VIRTUAL SPACE. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2022, vol.52, e09348. Epub Aug 08, 2022. ISSN 1980-5314. https://doi.org/10.1590/198053149348.
The article proposes to analyze, in the light of the theoretical-methodological framework of Pêcheux’s discourse analysis, the way in which the discursive place of the subject-teacher has been (re)positioned by hate narratives produced in the virtual space. The analysis shows the production of effects of animalization and demonization of the position of teacher-educator, which manipulates the discourse in order to justify both the violence against the position and its extermination, given that it is projected as an abject, unworthy and harmful figure. The analytical exercise undertaken constitutes a problematizing gesture of the contemporary conjuncture, seeking to expose the practices by which the teaching category has been stigmatized and discredited in a socio-historical moment of growing ultraconservatism and the affirmation of hatred.
