Massified Pedagogies of Cruelty: The caso of the Bahía Portete – Colombia
Abstract
The article examines the journalistic treatment of the Bahía Portete Massacre (2004–2024), one of the most atrocious episodes of violence against the Wayuu Indigenous people and their women leaders, from an intersectional and critical discourse analysis perspective. Through a mixed-methods approach, and combining situational mapping, content analysis, and documentary review, the study reveals how Colombian media have reproduced pedagogies of cruelty (Segato, 2018), obscuring the ethnic, gender, and political dimensions of the crime. The research advocates for a critical, sensitive, and reparative journalism that contributes to dismantling the power discourses sustaining gender-based violence in contexts of armed.
