Abstract

This article seeks to broaden the debate on the relations between speech and conduct in discussing linguistic vulnerability conditions in threats against women in the coarticulations between digital and face-to-face interactions. Our analysis focuses on the threats to journalist Vera Magalhães during the 2022 election campaign. In the digital setting, the citationality of threatening statements leads to exponential growth of repetitions. The circulation promotes digital texts transformations, and the repetitions show the "citational legacy", both of them characteristics subject to changes in the scale from textual chain to violent conduct invoking a chronotope of history of violence against women.
