The paper analyses the representation of femicide and gender violence in Italian online newspapers. Gender violence represents a widely debated topic in contemporary public discourse and recent studies demonstrate that it still presents various problems and can be affected by simplistic and stereotyped readings. The discursive representation of a social phenomenon is an integral part of the construction of the fact itself and its interpretations. The analysis is conducted through quantitative methods, starting from a large corpus of journalistic texts collected online (Timestamped JSI corpus) between 2014 and 2022. The use of a vast corpus of very different sources has the aim of observing contemporary public discourse more thoroughly, highlighting the plurality of visions present in the media space. Starting from keywords analysis, from the analysis of collocations and concordance lines, both discursive structures in continuity with previous analyses and innovative elements that broaden the vision and interpretation of the phenomenon were identified.
Il contributo analizza la rappresentazione del femminicidio e della violenza di genere nel panorama informativo italiano online. La violenza di genere rappresenta un tema ampiamente dibattuto nel discorso pubblico contemporaneo e gli studi recenti dimostrano che la sua trattazione presenta ancora diversi problemi e può essere affetta da letture semplicistiche e stereotipate. Il contributo presenta un’analisi condotta attraverso metodi quantitativi, partendo da un ampio corpus di testi giornalistici raccolti in rete (corpus Timestamped JSI) tra il 2014 e il 2022. L’uso di un vasto corpus di fonti, assai differenti tra loro, ha lo scopo di osservare in modo più attento il discorso pubblico contemporaneo, mettendo in luce la pluralità di visioni presenti nello spazio mediatico. A partire dalle parole chiave, dall’analisi delle collocazioni e delle linee di concordanza sono stati individuati sia fatti discorsivi in continuità con le analisi precedenti sia elementi innovativi che allargano la visione e l’interpretazione del fenomeno.

Abstract
The paper analyses the representation of femicide and gender violence in Italian online newspapers. Gender violence represents a widely debated topic in contemporary public discourse and recent studies demonstrate that it still presents various problems and can be affected by simplistic and stereotyped readings. The discursive representation of a social phenomenon is an integral part of the construction of the fact itself and its interpretations. The analysis is conducted through quantitative methods, starting from a large corpus of journalistic texts collected online (Timestamped JSI corpus) between 2014 and 2022. The use of a vast corpus of very different sources has the aim of observing contemporary public discourse more thoroughly, highlighting the plurality of visions present in the media space. Starting from keywords analysis, from the analysis of collocations and concordance lines, both discursive structures in continuity with previous analyses and innovative elements that broaden the vision and interpretation of the phenomenon were identified.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
