Esporte, mídia e violência sexual uma revisão integrativa
Por Lucas Leon Peixoto (Autor), André Mendes Capraro (Autor), Maria Thereza Oliveira Souza (Autor).
Resumo
Esta revisão integrativa aborda a articulação entre esporte, mídia e violência sexual. A partir de buscas nas bases Scopus e Web of Science, foram selecionados 37 trabalhos que tematizaram como diferentes mídias retrataram casos envolvendo atletas. Os resultados apontam que o discurso circulante nos diferentes tipos de mídias frequentemente relativiza a responsabilidade dos agressores e culpabiliza as vítimas. Porém o papel positivo da mídia também foi destacado, por servir como um veículo de denúncia e um espaço para reivindicações. O consumo de mídia esportiva também apareceu como um tema emergente, e os estudos indicaram que este hábito possui relações com o nível de aceitação à violência sexual. Conclui-se que esporte e mídia constituem espaços centrais na reprodução e contestação destes problemas.
