(Why it is possible to hit women) by Mauricio Navas Talero, published in a well know magazine of national printing. The stated column was written regarding a public scandal: Bolillo Gómez, the Colombia's national soccer team ex-trainer, hit a woman outside a bar at Bogotá. Want we pretend to do with the analysis is to reveal, based on Navas, the misogynist discursive practices that are widespread in the mass media before a scene that turns, rather than into news, into an event of important consequences.spahttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/1794-5887articleCritical speech analysisGlobal coherenceLocal coherenceMacrostructure2021-03-04S.
