摘要

本文反思了Reeva Steenkamp(2013年)、Jayde Panayiotou(2015年)、Susan Rhode(2016年)和Karabo Mokoena(2017年)的谋杀案,并质疑南非媒体如何描绘亲密女性谋杀的受害者。媒体关于亲密杀害妇女的报道清楚地表明,妇女被其亲密伴侣谋杀是如何被视为孤立事件,而不是在男性占主导地位的社会背景下形成的系统问题。因此,了解媒体如何描绘受害者和暴力变得越来越重要。这篇文章探讨了为什么被伴侣谋杀的女性很少被归类为杀害女性,以及媒体对这些谋杀的描述如何未能传达针对女性的暴力行为的系统性本质,这种暴力行为似乎比其他人更重视某些生命,从而巩固了种族和阶级压迫。重点是媒体掩盖亲密伴侣暴力本质的力量,这种暴力使理想的受害者观念根深蒂固。最后,探讨了南非政府对这种形式的暴力的反应,并呼吁在报道亲密杀害妇女案件时需要负责任的报道。

The portrayal of victims of intimate femicide in the South African media
This article reflects on the murders of Reeva Steenkamp (2013), Jayde Panayiotou (2015), Susan Rhode (2016) and Karabo Mokoena (2017) and questions how victims of intimate femicide are portrayed in the South African media. Media reporting on intimate femicide clearly illustrates how the murder of women by their intimate partners, are framed as isolated incidents rather than a systemic problem situated within a social context of male dominance. It is therefore increasingly important to understand how the media portrays victimhood and violence. This article explores how the murder of women by their partners are rarely classified as femicide, and how the media’s portrayal of these murders fails to convey the systemic nature of violence against women that also entrenches racial and class-based oppression by seemingly valuing some lives more than others. The focus is on the power of the media to obscure the nature of intimate partner violence, which entrenches a notion of ideal victimhood. In conclusion, the South African government’s response to this form of violence is explored, and the need for responsible reporting is called for in reporting on cases of intimate femicide.
