摘要:The objective of this article is to show how intolerant speech is produced in the digital space in response to news of an exhibition of a poster called “Sexual Ranking” at the student housing facility of the Escuela Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz, University of Sao Pablo, in the city of Piracicaba. The poster displayed a classification of people, from heterosexual women to homosexual men, according to physical features and sexual practices. Our study is based mainly on the work of Diana Luz Pessoa de Barros on intolerant speech on the internet, and that of Marie Anne Paveau on discursive virtues and moral judgments. We also resorted to Michel Foucault’s reflections on discourse and those of Dominique Maingueneau on what constitutes the controversy among subjects of discourse.
