Resumen
En el presente artículo se desarrolla un análisis de imágenes publicadas en noticias de sucesos en el diario digital crhoy.com durante 2017. Su objetivo indagar la función de las imágenes (fotografías, infografías) en la construcción noticiosa de la violencia contra las mujeres. El interés surgió en estudios realizados por la autora (Martínez y Jiménez, 2016; 2018; 2018b). Se realizó un análisis macroestructural que permitió identificar: tipos de violencia, uso de las imágenes, autoría, actores y agencia; y posteriormente una descripción de los elementos retóricos empleados en las imágenes (Gries, 2015). Los resultados encontrados permiten afirmar las mujeres son escasamente representadas en su calidad de agentes (Murley, 2011). Hay un llamado a la estrategia del sufrimiento en la representación de las víctimas (Chouliaraki, 2006, p. 53).
The current article develops an analysis of images published in Costa Rican digital newspaper crhoy.com in 2017. Its purpose is to investigate the role of images (photographs, infographics, videos) in the construction of news about violence against women. The interest in this topic arose in previous studies by the author (Autor y Jiménez, 2016; Autor, 2018; Autor, 2018b). The methodological approach is both qualitative and quantitative. In the quantitative phase, the principal goal was to identify types of violence against women represented in the news, also actors, and authors of the images. The qualitative research allowed to understand the visual rhetorics strategies such as the symbolic representation of the location, women agency, institutional actions to prevent and eradicate violence against women (Gries, 2015). The results reveal that women are scarcely represented as agents in the news, but rather as passive victims of violence (Mulvey, 2011). There is a media usage of ´politics of pity´ (Chouliaraki, 2006, p. 53) as a rhetorical strategy in the representation of victims.
