Entre a comoção e a indiferença: o processo do luto coletivo após a tragédia da Boate Kiss

Abstract

This research aims to understand the process of construction of discursive formations about suffering in the newspaper Diário de Santa Maria after the fire at the Kiss nightclub. The “tragedy” of the Kiss nightclub, as the dawn of January 27, 2013 became known, is a fire in a nightclub in the city of Santa Maria, in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, caused by flags that hit the ceiling establishment, setting fire to the material used for sound insulation. The "tragedy" ended the lives of 242 people, most of them by asphyxiation and left more than 600 injured. The fire and its consequences are considered a “critical event”, as it destabilizes the daily references by which the subjects guide their life practices and their forms of expressions, and produces social effects both on their bodies and on the speech of those who suffer from it. social fracture. The narration is inscribed as an important way to understand and inhabit the world after the event. Thus, from the analysis of the psi discursive practices in reports of the newspaper Diário de Santa Maria in the period of the first three years after the fire and some scientific materials, analyzed from the analysis of Foucault's discourse, we seek to understand which treatment strategies and care are most evoked in psi discourses. In general, the development of a set of psi discourses and tactics about suffering, reconfigured after the “tragedy” of Kiss nightclub, forming a discursive framework that considers collective ways of treating suffering. From the analysis of the corpus, it was described how certain feelings were being produced socially in social relationships according to the passage of time and the change of context, highlighting how the feelings are susceptible to variations caused by the socio-cultural environment in which they find themselves, in a relationship between culture, society and emotions.
