THE MYTHICAL NARRATIVE IN COMMUNICATION PROCESSES IN THE NON-CONSENSUAL EXHIBITION OF WOMEN ON THE INTERNET

Abstract

This article analyzes the mythical narrative from communicational processes in situations of women threatened with having intimate contents exposed without consent on the internet. We argue that the adamic myth goes back to axiological orders oriented to the construction of hegemonic thoughts about the experience of women in contemporary times, updated and ritualized to maintain the mandate of masculinity. The analysis starts from ethnographic data, allowing us to perceive that women, given their intersectionalities, suffer sanctions sustained by mythical collective imaginaries. We show that the crime of non-consensual exposure on the internet, escapes the order of intimate, private and interpersonal relationships, to publicly and spectacularly communicate the territorial domain over women's bodies. In this direction, we point out patriarchal communicational processes that translate into at least seven aspects identified here.
