Il femminicidio : rappresentazioni dalla stampa italiana

The essay emphasizes the main stereotypes identified in the news coverage of femicide on the Italian press. Furthermore, the article attempts to examine the historical and cultural roots of the stereotypical narrative promoted by the newspapers. The contribution shows the results of a textual analysis carried out on 380 news items published from 2015 to 2019 in two italian newspapers La Repubblica and Il Tempo. This analysis seeks to show how representation of genderbased violence is discriminatory for women and how hard it is for journalists to rephrase conventional narration for which the article proposes new themes.
