Résumé : |
This study investigates the way Muslim women are represented in one of Britain‟s most
circulated newspapers, The Daily Telegraph. Despite the enormous research on Islam and
Muslims‟ representation in the Western and British media, little has been done on the issue of
MW, though they constitute today one of the most heated debates in Britain and elsewhere. This
research has a twofold objective: first, to reveal the main patterns The Daily Telegraph uses to
represent Muslim women, and secondly to unveil the role that ideologies may play in this
representation. The textual analyses are based on two corpora: the Muslim women Telegraph
corpus that includes all articles mentioning Muslim women from 2010 to 2016, and the Muslim
women in headlines corpus which is a sub-corpus built from the Muslim women Telegraph
corpus and includes all articles that mention Muslim women in their headlines. The former
corpus is analyzed through the corpus-based approach integrated with Transitivity analysis of
Systemic Functional Grammar while the latter is analyzed drawing on Fairclough‟s Critical
Language Study model. Thus, our research is based on an eclectic method that combines
qualitative and quantitative approaches for text analysis. Research findings suggest that The
Daily Telegraph representation of Muslim women is problematic. In terms of semantic
macrostructures, MW are associated with controversial topics such as the veil and terrorism. The
prevailing discursive patterns related to MW are those representing them as passive victims of
their religion and culture, submissive and weak social subjects, and a threat to the British values.
These discursive patterns are found to be a reflection of The Daily Telegraph liberal, Orientalist,
and conservative ideologies. |
