physical violence against women. news reports. gender ideologies.Abstract
The present article focuses on the study of the genre consisting of news reports about physical violence by men against women in Argentina. Textual analysis can be seen, following Fairclough (1992, 1995, 2003), as a way of studying language used in texts focusing on socially significant issues. Therefore, in a national sociohistorical context in which sensitivity towards gender issues is increasing daily, the aim of my analysis is to bring to the fore, from a critical perspective (van Dijk, 1991; Fairclough, 2003; Radford, 1992; Eckert y McConnell-Ginet, 2003), the ideological load conveyed in the representations of one Argentine newspaper when it deals with physical violence against women. Such a study actively supports the trend which favors critical media literacy and connects critical discourse studies with an increasing awareness among citizens regarding the constitutive nature of press representations.
