Subjetividade e telejornalismo: análise das representações de identidade, gênero e raça materializados nos corpos de repórteres da TV Globo

Abstract

This monograph presents a critical analysis of the representations of identity, gender, and race in Brazilian television journalism, focusing on the segment “G1 em um minuto” aired by TV Globo. The research is grounded in the premise that journalists bodies on screen are not neutral, but carry subjectivities that challenge the traditionally objective discourse of news broadcasting. Drawing from Cultural Studies and the concept of intersectionality, this study explores how the historical “Globo Quality Standard” has shaped journalist performances according to Eurocentric, cisnormative, and heteronormative ideals. The methodology combines content analysis and case study, examining episodes from 2015, 2019, and 2024. The findings show that although there has been an increase in subjective expressions — such as the appearance of Black, LGBTQIA+ journalists and informal attire — these representations remain mostly confined to marginal segments of the network’s programming. The study concludes that rather than signaling genuine inclusion, such changes may serve as symbolic strategies that sustain a system still dominated by hegemonic bodies and identities.
