Media and Crime in Argentina

"This book analyses the punitive crime discourse in the Argentinean press during the 1990s. Fernandez Roich focusses on several features of media discourse during this time, such as: the notion that petty criminals 'deserve to die' in reference to police brutality and killings, the phenomenon of 'vindicators' or how common citizens turned into 'evil' modern heroes in the press, and the parallelism between the military discourse under the military regime and the punitive discourse under democracy."--

„Aceasta carte analizeaza discursul criminalitatii punitive din presa argentiniana din anii 1990. Fernandez Roich se concentreaza pe mai multe caracteristici ale discursului mass-media in acest timp, cum ar fi: notiunea ca micii infractori„ merita sa moara ”in raport cu brutalitatea si uciderea politiei, fenomenul „revindicatorilor” sau modul in care cetatenii obisnuiti s-au transformat in eroi moderni „rai” in presa si paralelismul dintre discursul militar sub regimul militar si discursul punitiv sub democratie.
