- W266768583 abstract "Review of Gender Violence at the U.S.-Mexico Border: Media Representation and Public Response, edited by Hector Dominguez-Ruvalcaba and Ignacio Corona, Tucson: The University of Arizona Press, 2010. Gender Violence at the U.S.-Mexico Border offers rich examination of the ways in which violence, place and gender interact in media representations of the U.S.-Mexico boundary. Dominguez-Ruvalcaba and Corona critically interrogate the politics involved in portraying gendered violence in contemporary Mexico, or in their own words, such violence is the object of (re)presentation in diversity of texts (2). Using qualitative and quantitative analysis, the nine contributors to this edited volume expose the role of media as structural generator of sociopolitical instability in the country. In other words, they reveal the ways in which newspapers, broadcasts, films and novels present decontextualized and fragmentary images and discourses that cultivate widespread ethos of alarm and violence among the population. The book is divided into four parts. Each part scrutinizes specific form of communication. Part One deals with oral testimonies. In Chapter 1, Castillo, Rangel Gomez and Rosas Solis explore the horrendous cruelty and marginalization endured by transgender sex workers in Tijuana. In Chapter 2, Ravelo Blancas examines the emotions and political consciousness of the mothers of murdered women in Ciudad Juarez. Building on oral accounts of research subjects, these two chapters demonstrate that testimonial narratives are crucial in challenging the naturalization of uneven relations of power and envisioning tactics to bring about social justice and change. Part Two takes up the exploration of audiovisual representations. In Chapter 3, Dominguez-Ruvalcaba examines the ways in which television news reports produce hegemonic alarming narrative on how to perceive violence and induce a paralysis of any political project intended to fight terror (65). In Chapter 4, Tabuenca Cordoba provides an analysis of the murder and disappearance of women in the cinematic imagination about Ciudad Juarez. As this author contends, many films and news reports portray the murders of women and social turmoil as testament to deterioration of conservative family values and traditional gender roles. In so doing, they deem women responsible for their own deaths and deny the role of the state in preventing and solving these crimes. Part Three explores print media as ubiquitous medium that propagates panic and induces sociopolitical paralysis and immobilizing fear. In Chapter 5, Corona discusses the processes of textualization, representation, and communication enmeshed in the making of violent journalism (106). Throughout these processes, due to gender ideologies and capitalist demands, newspapers are complicit in re/producing politics of fear. In Chapter 6, Lopez-Lozano examines novels depicting the Juarez femicides and argues that even though these works represent foreign or outsider characters as morally superior, they bring to the forth the intersection between gender discrimination and global capitalism as key factors in intensifying gender-based violence on the border. Finally, Part Four investigates the legal status of femicides in international courts. In the last chapter, Harrington employs the supranational legal concepts such as 'due diligence' and 'state tolerance' to render either the Mexican state or specific individuals accountable for the perpetration of, negligence, injustice and silence towards women's assassinations in Ciudad Juarez. …" @default.
