| Sumario: | The homicide most frequently recorded by the yellow press in Mexico City between 1920 and 1950 was the “crime of passion,” which referred to violence that took place among dating couples and whose main motive was jealousy. The objective of this article is to examine the representations and stereotypes of extreme violence that happened mainly in the private sphere, in order to show how those representations were described in the press, the prejudices of gender and class entailed in these descriptions, and the discourses about love, violence against women, and honor during the post-revolution. |
