| Title | Prosecuting Survivors: A Discursive Analysis of the Judicial Accusation against Claudia Cortez |
| Summary | This thesis is a study of the logic of prosecution of women who are survivors of gender-based violence and engage in self-defense, for which they are taken to court. It analyzes how the state, through its justice system, builds criminal cases against these women by disregarding the history of gender-based violence they have endured from their male partners. I will address the topic through the analysis of the judicial case “Prosecutor vs. Claudia Cortez”, which took place in 2019 in Mendoza, Argentina. A critical discourse analysis of the Prosecutor’s closing argument speech is conducted with the aim of deconstructing the logic of the argumentation to expose the masculinist values it reiterates. |
