Abstract

Based on the French Discourse Analysis proposed by Michel Pêcheux, this article reflects on the ideological
determination that influences the social imaginary about gender identity from a conversation between a radio host and the
listeners. The corpus consists of two screenshots of WhatsApp messages taken from Twitter. In the conversations, Rádio
Super FM 89.1 refuses to play the song “Parabéns” by singer Pabllo Vittar, on the grounds that he does not know drag
queen’s gender identity. We know that ideology materializes itself in language; therefore, the meanings assigned are not
characteristic of language, but of how subjects relate to ideology, that is, the process of meaning production varies
according to the subject’s identification with a particular discursive formation. We understand that, with the analysis, there
is resistance to the knowledge that causes oppression and reproduces different types of violence in our social formation.
