The present article, thus, takes as object of study such particular process present in the media, social stigmas thematization. It aims to present how, in the media, social stigmas are built and also to investigate its preponderant formations, from the reading and analysis of audiovisual discourses. At first, the article discusses the theory involving social stigmas and some of their relations with the media; in a second moment our attention is turned to the media itself in order to ponder about social stigmas according to the analyzed movies.
