O termo Fait Divers, definido por Barthes (1971), é usualmente utilizado como sinônimo de imprensa sensacional. O Portal de Notícias G1, localizado no endereço www.g1.com.br, ligado à Central Globo de Jornalismo, não se autodenomina como parte desse tipo de imprensa. No entanto, o veículo em questão, disponibiliza as matérias na categoria “Mais lidas”, classificadas, dessa forma, de acordo com o número de acessos. O corpus empírico da pesquisa compreende a análise do material disponível nessa categoria “Mais Lidas” em períodos distintos dos meses de março, abril e junho dos anos de 2012 e de 2014, em horários e dias aleatórios. O recorte proposto valoriza a pluralidade dos materiais, evitandose a concentração em um único período, o que pode acarretar a concentração de assuntos ou suítes da mesma matéria. A hipótese inicial é que a violência e a morte, características também do Fait Divers, estão presentes em parte significativa do material a ser analisado e, portanto, influenciam para o feedback do leitor. Este artigo conta com uma construção teórica-metodológica que contempla a fundamentação sobre Fait Divers, de acordo com Barthes (1971), Morin (1984), Maffesoli (1962) e Angrimani (1994).
The term Fait Divers, defined by Barthes (1971), is usually used as a synonym for sensational press. The portal G1 News, located at the address www.g1.com.br on the Central Journalism Globe, not calls himself as part of this type of press. However, the vehicle in question provides the materials in the "More read" classified in this way in accordance with the number of accesses. The empirical research corpus comprises the analysis of the material available in this category "Most Read" at different times of the months of March, April and June of the years 2012 and 2014, at times and random days.
The proposed cut values the plurality of materials, avoiding concentration in a single period, which may result in the concentration of subjects or suites of the same matter. The initial hypothesis is that violence and death, also features the Fait Divers are present in significant part of the material to be analyzed and thus influence for reader feedback. This article has a theoretical-methodological construction that includes the reasons on Fait Divers, according to Barthes (1971), Morin (1984), Maffesoli (1962) and Angrimani (1994). To Morin (1984, p.122-124), "the exposure of violence promoted by journalism at the same time encourages and calms an aggressive fund existing in humans, operating a kind of everyday catharsis." Barthes (. 1971, p 189) ranks Fait Divers as a total information, or more accurately, immanent; containing in itself all their knowledge. According to the author, it is not necessary to know nothing of the world to consume one Fait Divers; he did not formally refers to nothing beyond itself; its content is no stranger to the world:
"disasters, murders, kidnappings, assaults, accidents, thefts, oddities, all this refers to man, its history, its alienation, its ghosts, your dreams, your fears."
