População em situação de rua e direitos humanos na cidade do Rio de Janeiro: a invisibilidade no olhar dos meios de comunicação

Abstract

The development process of Brazilian society, based on the extensive accumulation of capital and in the reproduction of social inequalities, produces harmful consequences for a considerable part of the population, perpetuated in the poverty and consequent deprivation of rights guarantees. The result o this process is reflected on the distribution of wealth and of social goods, given to the ones that are on the base of the society, as an anomaly and values inversion. On this scenario the homeless population is inserted, less recognized segment, which particularities and singularities demand answers expressed in formulations of public policies of national scope and articulations. Abandoned by the public realm it demands, in advance, the comprehension that it finds itself on this condition, because the State and the society assumed, historically, and excluding and discriminatory capitalist developing process. This thesis is based on this premise and it objectives itself to demonstrate by newspapers news how the homeless people is presented under various denominations, multiple saturated visibilities of invisibilities manifested on the obscurity of the media means. Focusing this approach, we aim to reveal the essential axel of the analysis of the selected news, the comprehension of the universality of The Human Rights, assumed on the 1988 Constitution, which reinforces the value of human dignity, fundament of the democratic right state (Article 1º, III). Rarely, the media is going to recognize the street situation under its humanized subjectivity, essentially presented in the Constitution, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in National Program of Human Rights III and in the Homeless National Policy. The theoretical methodology base is the result of the analysis of an inventory of collection and daily reading, since 2010, of the newspapers O GLOBO, O DIA and EXTRA, from Rio de Janeiro, electing the news related to the years of 2012, 2013 and the first months of 2014. The findings in the analysis send us to the understanding about the naturalization, triviality criminality of poverty of the homeless. We have also noticed, in the printed news, the inexistence of a punctual discussion under the scope and perspective of human rights, highlighting the invisibility and lack of representation of this population. In the direction of the representation fortification of the homeless people, this paper presents also the experience of the Permanent Forum on Adult Population Living in the Streets, understood here in the Gramscian conception, which presumes na articulated necessity between the civil society and politics society, economy and politics
