Abstract
In the history of genocide, the phases of classification and dehumanization play an essential role before the extermination itself. In this study, we are interested in the dehumanization of Tutsi women, as a phase of indoctrination preparatory to their extermination. The corpus consists of excerpts from the media and political discourses of the period 1990-1994. Qualitative content analysis is the main working method. Initially, a lexicological reading combined with a thematic approach to the corpus of anti-Tutsi propaganda from 1990 to 1994 managed to detect the facts that carry the dehumanization inflicted on Tutsi women through the propaganda of this period. In a second step, the analysis made an analysis of the content of the representations to apprehend and deconstruct them and explain the concepts recovered by the propaganda to demonize the Tutsi woman or even predispose her to her extermination. Mastering the process of dehumanization should make it possible to prevent and mitigate the crimes of genocide as a prelude to the violence inflicted on Tutsi women between 1990 and 1994.
