Pornografia de vingança: violência de gênero na Internet na era farmacopornográfica

Abstract

In view of the emergence and consolidation of new forms of gender violence, especially in the computer environment, in this research we focus on the phenomenon of revenge pornography, in order to understand and problematize the current legislation to protect women victims of violence of gender. In order to do so, we examine the sociocultural dimensions of gender violence, using feminist and poststructuralist theories; we investigated the legal treatment given to revenge pornography by the Brazilian legal system and internationally and; Lastly; we analyze the effects of revenge pornography from emblematic cases, passing through determining concepts such as gender violence, rape culture and pornography. We carried out a research based on document analysis and bibliographic review of a qualitative nature. In view of this, we identified in the differentiated construction between male and female sexualities the origins of the asymmetries present in gender relations. Gender stereotypes permeate the elaboration and application of criminal laws and contribute to the ineffectiveness of these norms in the fight against violence against women. We conclude that there is an ongoing intersection between the traditional forms of gender violence and the new modalities, with a view to the perpetuation of physical and symbolic violence, as well as the emergence of figures such as political and technological violence.
