“Salteñidad” and gender: a situated analysis of social representations of femicide in journalistic discourse
Abstract
September 9, 2024 marked the 10th anniversary of the enactment of the Public Emergency for Gender Violence in Salta, Argentina. In this regard, within the framework of a doctoral thesis, it was proposed to study the social representations on the media treatment of femicide in the Salta press during this period. In particular, the aim of this article is to share the results of the content and discourse analysis on the native category of salteñidad in dialogue with others such as revictimization and culpabilization, widely worked on in the field of communication and gender. For this purpose, 116 news items published by the local newspaper El Tribuno on the femicides of Jimena Salas and Andrea Neri were studied using a qualitative methodology combined with the use of quantitative techniques.
