摘要
The notion of security in the political and media discourse has an almost direct connection with crime rates and public policies introduced by governments to combat insecurity.Criminal events described by the press as related to“insecurity”take up important sections in newspapers or TV.Cases such as the kidnapping and murder of Axel Blumberg,Candela Sol Rodríguez,or the latest Chocobar case,were highly mediatized.Analyzing media discourse is very important when studying how,from a spectacularization point of view,news carrying meaning are published,and start shaping the opinion of the society regarding the public,the private,and the individual.This does not mean that,as audience,we believe everything the media tells us to be true.However,it should be considered that media presence in society is significant and that its discourse,to some extent,shows signs of the different problems the society is faced with,always from a biased and political perspective.This paper aims at explaining how,from the analysis of Minister Patricia Bullrich’s statements about the Chocobar case,it is possible to find traces in favor of the new security paradigm that was established in Argentina,from the beginning of the current government.
