A necropolítica ambiental bolsonarista pelas imagens de portais noticiosos no Instagram

Abstract

This work intends to reflect on the relationship between image and text, which are arranged in digital journalism, based on the analysis of five Instagram news profiles, between January 2018 and June 2020. The images are analyzed by their content, relationship with the superimposed characters and in the caption, as well as from their intradiscourses and interdiscourses. From research methods for the internet (FRAGOSO; RECUERO; AMARAL, 2011) and also from qualitative research with text, image and sound (BAUER; GASKELL, 2008), the content related to the Enviromental Journalism editorship was cut out on the empirical object, with emphasis on agendas related to the Amazon and the Environment. The results point to generic photographic images, often without identification of origin and/or authorship, used to illustrate the theme or make an impact. Memes, montages and illustrations are part of this imagery universe, widely used together with an opinionated journalism, which combines accusations that end up characterizing an ongoing bolsonarist environmental necropolitics. The work was carried out as Scientific Initiation Research between 2020 and 2021, with support from the Amazonas Research Support Foundation (FAPEAM) and the Federal University of Amazonas.
