| Abstract | |
In 2010, the Brazilian cartoonist Laerte Coutinho publicly revealed a process of identification with the female gender, which could already be seen in her work at least since 2005. From that moment on, several contents involving Laerte have been distributed by the media, in the form of news, special reports, columns, interviews and debates. Inspired by the concepts of hegemony and counter-hegemony (Williams, 1977), this research aims to investigate and understand the process of making gender and sexuality representations both in Brazilian major newspapers and online media through the analysis of contents concerning Laerte, assuming as a goal to inquire about its possible effects as well as themes and approaches that the discussion on Laertes personal life has raised.
