SUMMARY:

This research is based on the development of studies on masculinities that began in Brazil in the 1990s, highlighting the recognition of multiple forms of masculinity. Both the negative and positive aspects of masculine constructions that are less prominent or associated with negative connotations are analyzed, recognizing masculinity as a plural category that encompasses various forms of identities. It explores the presence and manifestation of masculinities in social movements, including the LGBTQIAP+ movement, as well as their representation in discourses influenced by the media. The study focuses on the Instagram profile @papodehomem, known for addressing discussions about masculinity in an intersectional way and based on the search for gender equity. The profile offers practical advice to drive changes in the understanding of masculinities, bringing real examples and cases related to these expressions. The main objective of the research is to analyze the discourse produced by @papodehomem, investigating its performance as a producer of meanings about contemporary masculinities, through its posts on Instagram. The theoretical foundation is based on renowned authors such as Connell (2013, 2015), Scott (2012), Butler (2018), Januário (2016) and Kimmel (2008), who provide theoretical support for the discussions undertaken. The dissertation is structured in four main chapters. The first chapter addresses the archaeology of masculinities, presenting a historical perspective of the conceptions of masculinity over time. The second chapter discusses the influence of cyberspace and media activism on social movements, particularly with regard to digital social networks. The third chapter presents the methodological assumptions used in the research, highlighting the qualitative method used, Netnography, following the studies of Kozinets (2014), to understand the digital environment of Instagram @papodehomem. In addition, Discourse Analysis is used based on the conceptions of Michel Foucault (1996), aiming at understanding the meanings produced by the profile in relation to contemporary masculinities. Finally, the fourth chapter focuses on the analysis and discussion of the results obtained, revealing the important role played by @papodehomem in deconstructing hegemonic narratives about masculinities. By questioning and deconstructing entrenched expectations based on gender stereotypes, the profile promotes a dynamic and inclusive conversation that embraces the diverse expressions of contemporary masculinities in a progressive and emancipatory way.
