Abstract

[Exploring the historical gendered fixed roles for women and men in the private, i.e. heterosexual relationships, demonstrates that these prove equally detrimental to women. The femminicidio, the crime in which men kill their on-going or former partners, is a widespread phenomenon worldwide as well as in Italy. Qualitative and quantitative language investigations show that politics is dealing with this issue as an abstract phenomenon which affects women. Reporting on the topic in Italian newspapers reproduces dangerous narratives which recount how male jealousy and hurt feelings are at the core of this gendered crime. Furthermore, specific language is used to bridge the gap between a void in the legislation and this systematic atrocity perpetrated by men against women.]
