JUSTO VON LURZER, Carolina. Marginals, victims and feminist whores. Continuities and ruptures in the mediatization of the sex trade in Argentina. Comun. medios [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.39, pp.40-51. ISSN 0716-3991.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5354/0719-1529.2019.51067.

Since 1994 Argentina has an organized movement of women in the sex trade and who, from different political identities, demand the recognition of their rights. This article reconstructs the local public debate about the sex trade based on its mediatization. We will characterize three periods of mediatization that express the displacements and continuities in the positions on commercial sex in Argentina. A first period devoted to prostitution as a dimension of "marginality"; a second moment dominated by the overlap between trafficking, sexual exploitation and sex work; and a third period in which sex workers take the public stage by deploying specific media discussion and advocacy strategies.

Palabras clave : mediatization; sex trade; feminisms; Argentina.
