This research aims to analyze the discourse of feminist activism of the Slut Walk movement, regarding the argumentation, as a result of effects of meaning and their possible effects, especially in the symbolic space. In other words, our objective is to analyze how the Slut Walk seeks to dispute meanings with the patriarchal discourse in relation to representations, knowledge and beliefs naturalized by it, which are symbolic violence against women in practice. Thus, we are interested in observing the effects of meaning that appear before the audience and how these effects can act in the alteration of this dominant doxa. To this end, we combine the new works of rhetoric, which consider dissent and / or polemic from Meyer, Angenot, and Amossy, with the contributions of Pecheux, and with the contemporary studies of Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca's rhetoric of consensus. In addition, we rely on Bourdieu's reflections on symbolic violence and male domination. Then, we start with the observation of a corpus composed of photographs, which are posted on the pages of the collective of Slut Walk on Facebook, that portray militants with posters and body inscriptions in Brazilian editions of the Slut Walk, between 2011 and 2018, in more than 70 cities where the movement took place. This shows that our interest is as much in the online dimension of the movement as in the moment of occupation of the public space. Through the observation of the corpus, we recognize the causes for which the Slut Walk struggles and select the most recurrent ones to which we will dedicate our attention in this work. They are: standing against victim-blaming in cases of rape, freedom of movement, sexual freedom, aesthetic freedom, reproductive freedom and female empowerment. From the analysis of these, it was possible to perceive that the senses that appear before each of the audience are linked to rhetorical functions that are important to the movement, related to the construction of a collective identity, search for visibility, resistance tothe dominant discourse and women empowerment.
