Abstract
GIL, Ana Soledad. Construcciones de sentido sobre violencia de género: El caso del diario argentino ClarínConstruction of sense about gender violence: The case of the Argentine newspaper Clarín. Punto Cero [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.31, pp.55-64. ISSN 1815-0276.
In an international context, where the thematic of gender violence has been included in the public and media agenda, in a way that we could considered as "explosive", in this article we want to look into the constructions of sense and into the way that they enter in disputation too. We think that the role of the mass media becomes meaningful because they contribute in the fixing of some senses over others. In Argentina has been some new laws that have become a disruption in the topic. We are talking about of National Law 26.485/2009 of "Integral Protection to prevent, punish and eradicate violence againstwomen" and of the National Law 26.522/2009 of "Audiovisual Communication Services". These two legal regulations have become an important instrument for the disputation of power in the relation between gender violence and mass media. Particularly, we analyze the constructions and disputations of sense about violence against women in an Argentina national newspaper: Clarín. We make this research using the method of discourse analysis and gender perspective.
Keywords : Gender violence; mass media and constructions of sense.
