Abstract

A perceived shift to the right when representing Muslims in the press in Europe has beenevident in recent years. Events such as 9/11, the July 2005 London bombings, broaderEuropean discussions and mainstreaming of populist discourses have marked a significant shiftin the media focusing on Muslims living in Europe. This paper outlines the discourses used to represent Muslims, via conducting multimodalcritical discourse analysis. The paper focuses on the 2015 Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack andcross-culturally compares four newspapers in two countries – the UK and Denmark. Resultsindicate a recontextualisation of the terrorist attack situating the threat within each country,with newspapers positioned as ‘left’ utilising the same framing and discourses of right leaningnewspapers. This situated threat is demonstrated through discourses framing both countries incontrast to Muslim ‘values’. Furthermore, both countries focus on utilising Muslim ‘voices’who are part of a Star System that are critical of Muslim communities.
《查理周刊》袭击事件与英国和丹麦报纸中的穆斯林话语:对四份报纸的跨文化批评话语分析
近年来,在欧洲媒体上代表穆斯林的人明显倾向于右倾。9/11、2005年7月伦敦爆炸案等事件、更广泛的欧洲讨论以及民粹主义话语的主流化,标志着媒体对生活在欧洲的穆斯林的关注发生了重大转变。本文通过进行多模态批评话语分析,概述了用来代表穆斯林的话语。本文以2015年《查理周报》恐怖袭击事件为研究对象,对英国和丹麦这两个国家的四家报纸进行了跨文化比较。结果表明,恐怖袭击的重新背景化将威胁置于每个国家内部,报纸被定位为“左派”,使用与右倾报纸相同的框架和话语。这种处境的威胁是通过将两国与穆斯林“价值观”对立起来的话语来证明的。此外,两国都专注于利用穆斯林的“声音”,这些声音是批评穆斯林社区的明星系统的一部分。
