Abstract:
We analyze 391 news reports in Israeli newspapers between 2013 and 2015, covering murders of women and their family members by other family members and intimate partners. We compare articles where the perpetrators and victims are Jewish to those where the perpetrators and victims are Palestinian citizens of Israel (henceforth PCI). We found that articles tend to provide much more details about Jewish culprits than about PCI ones. As for ascribed motives, most murder cases by Jews were framed as an outcome of individual personality or the pathology of the culprit. Conversely, when Palestinian citizens were the killers, culture and tradition were invoked as the main motives. We suggest that the routine work of narration that the Israeli media preform when covering femicide is a case of political use of cultural stereotypes to gain moral ground in the intractable conflict between Jews and Palestinians.
摘要:
我们分析了2013年至2015年间以色列报纸上的391篇新闻报道,报道了其他家庭成员和亲密伴侣谋杀妇女及其家庭成员的事件。我们将肇事者和受害者是犹太人的文章与肇事者和受害者是以色列巴勒斯坦公民的文章进行比较(此后为PCI)。我们发现,文章倾向于提供有关犹太罪魁祸首的详细信息,而不是有关PCI的详细信息。至于归因于动机,犹太人的大多数谋杀案都是由个人性格或罪魁祸首的病理造成的。相反,当巴勒斯坦公民是凶手时,文化和传统被援引为主要动机。我们建议,以色列媒体在报道杀害妇女行为时进行的例行叙事工作是政治上利用文化刻板印象来在犹太人和巴勒斯坦人之间棘手的冲突中获得道德基础的一种情况。
