For that, was searched for news stories involving cases of lethal violence against women, in a digital database of the Zero Hora newspaper, published in the period from January to December 2016. From this research, 48 reports was found, all in the police section, and 6 headlines. Was sought to understand the media's perspective in cases of homicide of women, the emphasis given in some cases to that reports, the relevance of mentioning the victim?s criminal record and / or their involvement in drug trafficking, and situations in which homicide is identified as a crime of passion.It is understood that the lethal violence of women occurs in several situations, which give rise to quite singular configurations. In these homicide arrangements, the gender element - constitutive of social relations - may or may not be present as drive of violence. However, the media darken the gender aspect, making it difficult to understand homicides from their complexity. For the theoretical support of the research, was opted for the theory of social representations, of Serge Moscovici and for the studies developed in gender and sexuality scope. Regarding the theoretical-methodological procedures, the qualitative approach and the set of content analysis techniques were adopted in their thematic modality for data systematization and interpretation. The results pointed out that the media deals with the murder of women covering the possible motivations based on unequal gender relations. The news framing is exclusively in police way, that means, doesn?t consider the multiple dimensions that involves violence against women. The media also produce representations of intimate partner violence in which it is reduced to a crime of passion. These results enable further study in the area, paving the way for future research, and challenge the media to incorporate gender equity into the way they interpret female homicides. The violence between intimate partners is reduced to a crime of passion in representations produced by the media. These results enable further studies in the area, paving the way for future researches, and challenging the media to incorporate gender equity into the way that they interpret female homicides. / O tema geral desta disserta??o ? o homic?dio de mulheres no Rio Grande do Sul e tem como objetivo analisar as representa??es sociais do fen?meno produzidas pela m?dia. Para isso, buscou-se mat?rias de cunho noticioso envolvendo casos de viol?ncia letal contra mulheres em banco de dados digital do Jornal Zero Hora, veiculadas no per?odo de janeiro a dezembro de 2016. A pesquisa resultou em 48 reportagens, todas no caderno policial, e 6 chamadas de capa. Procurou-se compreender a leitura realizada pela m?dia sobre os casos de homic?dio de mulheres, o destaque dado a alguns casos pelo notici?rio, a relev?ncia em mencionar os antecedentes criminais da v?tima e/ou seu envolvimento com o tr?fico de drogas e as situa??es em que o homic?dio ? identificado como crime passional. Compreende-se que a viol?ncia letal de mulheres ocorre em diversas situa??es, as quais originam configura??es bastante singulares. Nestes arranjos de homic?dio, o elemento de g?nero ? constitutivo das rela??es sociais ? pode ou n?o estar presente como motivador da viol?ncia. Todavia, a m?dia oculta o aspecto de g?nero, dificultando a compreens?o dos homic?dios a partir de sua complexidade. Para dar sustenta??o te?rica ? pesquisa, optou-se pela teoria das representa??es sociais, de Serge Moscovici e pelos estudos desenvolvidos na ?rea de g?nero e sexualidade. Quanto aos procedimentos te?rico-metodol?gicos, foi adotada a abordagem qualitativa e o conjunto de t?cnicas da an?lise de conte?do na sua modalidade tem?tica para sistematiza??o e interpreta??o dos dados. Os resultados apontaram que a m?dia trata do homic?dio de mulheres ocultando as poss?veis motiva??es baseadas nas rela??es desiguais de g?nero. O enquadramento da not?cia ? exclusivamente policial, ou seja, n?o considera as m?ltiplas dimens?es que envolve a viol?ncia contra a mulher. A m?dia tamb?m produz representa??es da viol?ncia entre parceiros ?ntimos em que ela ? reduzida a um crime passional. Estes resultados possibilitam o aprofundamento de estudos na ?rea, abrindo caminho para pesquisas futuras, e desafia a m?dia para que incorpore a equidade de g?nero na forma como interpretam os homic?dios de mulheres.
