Una investigación de las metáforas animales en campañas de violencia de género
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este artículo explora el uso de las metáforas animales en campañas contra la violencia de género. Se analiza un corpus basado en 39 campañas producidas entre 1998 y 2023 procedentes de 21 países donde se recurre a las metáforas animales en la representación de la víctima femenina y/o su maltratador masculino. Utilizando el enfoque de la Teoría de la Metáfora Conceptual, los resultados mostraron que las campañas reproducen tropos zoomórficos comúnmente vinculados con existentes discursos misóginos y de violencia de género, tales como políticos, legales, de los medios sociales y de comunicación, así como de la cultura popular. Los maltratadores son representados como agresivos, depredadores, peligrosos y controladores a través de metáforas como “animales”, “bestias”, “pitbulls”, “buitres”, “gallos”, “pulpos” y “búhos”. Las víctimas femeninas, por otro lado, son sexualizadas, subyugadas y ridiculizadas—física, intelectual y moralmente—por medio de comparaciones con “perras”, “zorras”, “gatas”, “cerdas” y “burras”.
