- Abstract
Studies in different socio-political contexts show that citizens have little trust in political institutions (e.g. government). Specifically in Argentina, the Judicial Power has the lowest level of support. In this context, the aim of this paper was to compare the social representations of justice diffused by the press in the most important newspaper in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (from October 2019 to January 2020) with those identified in a study also carried out in the same newspaper in the period April to June 2011. For this purpose, was analysed the meaning and frequency of occurrence of the word justice in the Sunday editions (N=12). The results showed that the word justice is most frequently used in reference to the judicial institution, that is, the courts that sanction and mediate social conflicts. It is concluded that the diffusion of social representations would have a retributive sense in which justice is understood as the administration of punishments and compensations to restore equality for unjust deeds. Although the comparative studies were carried out in different socio-political contexts, the meanings of justice are similar.
