Abstract

The topic of this work are gender relations in the legal, journalistic speeches and oral narratives of people who lived in Campina Grande, Paraíba, in the 1970s. My general objective was to problematize, through discourse analysis methodology, standardization practices for male and female. My problem questioned exactly how these discourses produced gender representations. In specific objectives analyzed as the standardization appeared in the speeches of divorce proceedings, in journalistic articles about gender violence and in oral narratives, discussing the various forms of subjectivity of these social standards and prescriptions. This work contributes toalso think about some subtopics that were discussed throughout the chapters of this work, as legislative practices for marriage and divorce; about adultery; abandonment in loving relationships; happiness; violence done by men and women;regionalist discourse; the use of places by gender; construction territories, finally, also to think about ourselves, about our representations and on ourrelationship with each other.
