Summary: This research aims to conduct a case study that articulates the themes of violence against women and feminist
appropriations of cyberspace. The desire that motivated this research was to
shed light on the exceptions to the rule, that is, media experiences where
women who report violence have their protagonism respected by journalistic
discourse and, thus, contribute to qualifying the public debate about the
misogyny that structures capitalist society, hegemonic journalism and digital
platforms. The main objective is to understand the discourses triggered
through interactions on social media within the scope of coverage of a report
of institutional violence made by a news portal linked to the mainstream
media. The aim is to reflect on the possibilities of territorialization of
cyberspace by feminist journalism and its consequent action as part of the
support networks of women who report violence. The corpus consists of two
videos published by journalist Cristina Fibe, from Universa/UOL, about the
denunciation of institutional violence perpetrated by a black woman from the
outskirts of Vitória/ES and accepted by the extension and research program
Fordan/UFES. The incident was widely reported by state and national media
and, within the scope of this research, is called the “Quieta o Facho”
Case, using the expression uttered by the accused prosecutor, who, in a court
hearing about alimony, said that the former couple should quiet the torch and
get back together, since they had five daughters together. The research uses
document analysis, discourse analysis and content analysis. The data and
discussions raised during the empirical research showed that the
differentiated approach of feminist journalism exercised by the columnist
influenced the interactions between internet users who spoke out on social
media, promoting interactions that were mostly favorable to the victim.
