Summary
An essay by Diana Márquez on how the media and the entertainment industry turn pain into spectacle and train society to desire punishment. She uses the image of the Colt 45 revolver, called the Peacemaker, to describe the idea that conflict is resolved by force, and draws on Richard Rorty. She analyzes the figure of the «ideal victim» that the media narrative demands and how those who choose to speak of peace or of meeting are silenced. She proposes recovering the human dimension of conflict and presents the experience of Víctimas por la Paz.
