Abstract

This research seeks to unveil the strategies used by the written press in Peru to represent the feminicide in two national newspapers: El Comercio and Trome. As a result of the revision of 1440 copies of newspapers corresponding the years 2012-2013, there have been identified, though Critical Discourse Analysis, three discursive repertoires in dispute in the representation of feminicide: a criminal repertoire, the repertoire of patriarchy and masculinity crisis, and a repertoire of rights associated with the increase of visibility of the feminicide. However, there is a predominance of the representation of the murders of women as “crimes of passion”, which distorts the social character of the feminicide act and reinforces stereotypes that place women in subordination and devaluation over male images.
