Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated incidences of domestic violence (DV). The framing of DV within media sources contributes to the public's understanding of DV. Using critical discourse analysis (CDA), this paper explores representations of safety within newspapers' reporting of DV during the pandemic. The sample included newspaper articles (n = 31) from U.S. newspapers. The analysis involved multiple rounds of coding and employing "structured questions." These articles depicted limited courses of action for DV survivors and represented safety as unattainable. Safety was constructed in four ways: homes are unsafe, social services are overburdened, government failures, and the elusiveness of safety. These discursive formations provide insight regarding "idealized" social responses to DV.

"安全难以捉摸："对报纸在冠状病毒流行期间报道家庭暴力的批判性话语分析。

COVID-19 大流行加剧了家庭暴力（DV）的发生率。媒体对家庭暴力的描述有助于公众对家庭暴力的理解。本文采用批判性话语分析 (CDA) 方法，探讨了大流行病期间报纸对家庭暴力报道中的安全表述。样本包括来自美国报纸的文章（n = 31）。分析涉及多轮编码和 "结构化问题"。这些文章描述了家庭暴力幸存者的有限行动方案，并将安全表述为遥不可及。安全是通过四种方式构建的：家庭不安全、社会服务负担过重、政府失职以及安全的不确定性。这些话语形式为社会对家庭暴力的 "理想化 "反应提供了启示。
