Western Media

With the realization of the promised global village, media, particularly online newspapers, play a significant role in delivering news to the world. However, such means of news circulation can propagate different ideologies in line with the dominant power. This, coupled with the emergence of so-called Islamic terrorist groups, has turned the focus largely on Islam and Muslims. This study attempts to shed light on the image of Islam being portrayed in Western societies through a Critical Discourse Analysis approach. To this end, a number of headlines about Islam or Muslims have been randomly culled from three leading newspapers in Western print media namely The Guardian, The Independent and The New York Times (2015). This study utilizes “ideological square” notion of Van Dijk characterized by “positive presentation” of selves and “negative presentation” of others alongside his socio-cognitive approach. Moreover, this study will take the linguistic discourses introduced by Van Leeuwen regarding “representing social actors and social practices” into consideration. The findings can be employed to unravel the mystery behind the concept of “Islamophobia” in Western societies. Besides, it can reveal how specific lexical items, as well as grammatical structures are being employed by Western media to distort the notion of impartiality.

Media representations have significant power to shape opinions and influence public response to communities or groups around the world. This study investigates media representations of Islam and Muslims in the American media, drawing upon an analysis of reports in the New York Times over a 17-year period (from Jan.1, 2000 to Dec. 31, 2016) within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis. It examines how Islam and Muslims are represented in media coverage and how discursive power is penetrated step by step through such media representations. Most important, it investigates whether Islam and Muslims have been stigmatized through stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. The findings reveal that the New York Times’ representations of Islam and Muslims are negative and stereotypical: Islam is stereotyped as the unacclimatized outsider and the turmoil maker and Muslims as the negative receiver. The stereotypes contribute to people’s prejudice, such as Islamophobia from the “us” group and fear of the “them” group but do not support a strong conclusion of discrimination.

A modernidade tardia (CHOULIARAKI; FAIRCLOUGH, 1999) trouxe consigo a ascensão dos meios digitais e de novas possibilidades de interação. Com isso, novos gêneros, ou gêneros “reconfigurados”, sustentam os propósitos discursivos e formatam os novos enunciados que nos são disponibilizados todos os dias. Esta modernidade tardia, portanto, nos coloca novos desafios: ser letrados em diferentes linguagens multissemióticas e multimodais (LEMKE, 2010). Diante desse contexto, nosso objetivo é analisar de que forma o letramento digital se manifesta do ponto de vista da leitura, compreensão e produção de textos de alunos de nível avançado e nível iniciante em Língua Inglesa, num programa de ensino de línguas de uma universidade pública. Inseridos no campo de estudos da Linguística Aplicada (MOITA-LOPES, 2006), compreendemos a linguagem como uma manifestação social, dotada de características discursivas, portanto, impossível de ser descolada de seu contexto e de uma real necessidade de estudo. Trata-se, assim, de um trabalho qualitativo-interpretativista (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2008), que pretende demonstrar como os multiletramentos se fazem presentes em salas de aulas de línguas estrangeiras na atual conjuntura em que nos encontramos. Referências:BAKHTIN, Mikhail.

This thesis critically examines the US media framing of the Egyptian Uprisings in 2011 and 2013 to examine whether the coverage was relatively value-neutral or had a value-laden (Neo-Orientalist) perspective. The thesis aims to examine whether the Neo-Orientalist tendency among the Western societies to view religion as the key driving force behind political processesis manifest in the US media as well, or whether the two newspapers try to represent the abovementioned political and economic processes and grievances. To this end, the thesis looks at the articles published in The New York Times and The Washington Post during and after two major events: Mubarak‟s resignation in 2011 and Morsi‟s removal in 2013. A combination of quantitative (content analysis) and qualitative (critical discourse analysis) research demonstrates that news articles and editorials about the 2011 and 2013 uprisings include Neo-Orientalist frames. These articles consider liberal democracy as a universal normative model and contrast it with Islam, portrayed as a fundamentally different, homogeneous and antidemocratic phenomenon linked with instability and violence and singlehandedly influencing democratization process. Compared to 2011, Neo-Orientalist frames become more frequent in 2013; if in 2011, most units adhere to Fukuyama‟s view that Egypt would join the teleological march to liberal democracy, in 2013, the trend reverses and most units, like Huntington, exclude any possibility of democratization. The textual practices of naming, sourcing, presupposition, fore- and backgrounding, used to construct Neo-Orientalist frames, can be related to discursive practices, or the production of text, and larger social practices. As critical discourse analysis shows, the units show pro-Israeli bias and align with the US foreign policy priorities: both the general policy of liberal democracy promotion and the specific strategic interests in Egypt.

Hari Minggu melekat pada beberapa aktivitas dalam praktik keseharian, bila merujuk pada ritual keagamaan, hari Minggu identik dengan prosesi religi Kristen, sementara bila mengacu pada kalender pemerintah, sebagian besar masyarakat Indonesia sedang menikmati hari libur dari pekerjaan mereka di penghujung minggu. Dari sekian banyak aktivitas yang dioperasikan pada hari Minggu, penelitian ini memfokuskan pada praktik membaca surat kabar Minggu. Subyek dalam penelitian adalah Kompas Minggu, surat kabar akhir pekan yang tampil dengan wujud lebih stylish, berisikan topik-topik seputar budaya, masyarakat, gaya hidup, kehidupan urban, kebudayaan populer, kuliner, keluarga, dan seni. Penelitian ini secara khusus meneliti kolom dalam Kompas Minggu yang bertajuk Catatan Minggu. Peneliti mengambil tiga kolom dalam Catatan Minggu yang terbit pada 14 Juni 2015 berjudul Yogya-Magelang, lalu pada 28 Juni 2015 berjudul Padang-Bukittinggi, lalu kolom ketiga dengan judul Pada Setiap Sudut Kota New York yang diterbitkan pada 5 November 2017. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah critical discourse analysis (CDA) atau analisis wacana kritis yang diutarakan oleh Teun A. Van Dijk. CDA Van Dijk menaruh landasan diskursus (discourse) pada tatanan sosiokognitif, di mana memiliki dua maksud. Maksud pertama bahwasanya diskursus berelasi pada proses tekstual yang berada dalam lingkup media massa, lalu maksud kedua, diskursus menyiratkan nilai-nilai, struktur sosial, praktik, bahkan relasi kuasa. Metode ini digunakan untuk mengupas rumusan masalah penelitian: bagaimana interplay antara teks dan praksis dalam narasi urban yang terkandung dalam kolom Catatan Minggu.
