Orienting terrorism: representations of terrorism in 'the West'Mulvenna, Charles 12 July 2012 (has links)
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, a vast discourse on contemporary terrorism has emerged within 'Western' media. This thesis analyzes the discourse of contemporary terrorism, and highlights how the postcolonialist critique of Orientalism pioneered by Edward Said is still relevant within the discourse. This is accomplished by analyzing books that have been published post-9/11 and which have been reviewed in the journal Foreign Affairs. A primary goal of this thesis is to facilitate the de-reification of the socially constructed concepts of both 'the East' and 'the West' which currently dominate representations within the discourse, as well as to highlight some of the key features of the discursive field on contemporary terrorism. The binary representation and stereotyping within the contemporary discourse provides a one-dimensional representation of the issue of terrorism, and by questioning the conformity of these representations we can critically examine one of the most important social issues within our society.

Previous issue date: 2015-03-31 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The study aims to understand the ways in which best-selling autobiographies by Muslim
women are produced. As a representative corpus, the books Infidel, by Ayaan Hirsi Ali;
Princess, by Jean Sasson/Sultana; and I am Malala, by Malala Yousafzai/Christina Lamb
were selected. Using Pierre Bourdieu's methodology – for whom a literary work should not be
studied only by its text, but also by its insertion and circulation in various fields (literary,
political, social) – the study conjectures that these narratives of life, since manufactured in the
West and founded on the logic of the cultural industry of mass production of popular
literature, are presented to the public circumscribed by neo-Orientalist discourses of the clash
of civilizations. We refer to the discourses displayed in the post-September 11, 2001, which,
reiterating the Orientalist discourse criticized by Edward Said, divided the world into superior
West versus inferior Middle East. Therefore, we investigate, in the first chapter, the
implications of the discourse of War on Terror to the commercial interest in personal
narratives of Muslim women. Furthermore, we describe the corpus of narratives in order to
characterize the subgenre of best-selling autobiographies of Muslim women, especially with
regard to the dichotomies freedom/oppression, subversion/submission. In the second chapter,
we analyse the importance of the autobiographical genre and the concepts of truth and
authenticity to the rise of these books, as well as the relations of co-authorship present in such
narratives. Then, in the third chapter, the focus is on making visible the editorial voices and
their contributions to the spectacularization of the topos of the Muslim woman as a victim to
be rescued from her society. To do so, the discourses of the peritext (cover, back cover and
tabs) of these autobiographies will be examined. Therefore, we seek to question the limits and
possibilities of self-representation of the subaltern subject in contexts marked by inequality of
forces and intermediations of the speech. / O trabalho objetiva compreender os modos de produção de autobiografias best-sellers de
mulheres muçulmanas. Como corpus representativo, selecionamos os livros Infiel, de Ayaan
Hirsi Ali; Princesa, de Jean Sasson/Sultana; e Eu sou Malala, de Malala Yousafzai/Christina
Lamb. Usando metodologia de Pierre Bourdieu, para quem uma obra literária não deve ser
estudada apenas por seu texto, mas também por sua inserção e circulação nos diversos
campos (literário, político, social), parte-se da hipótese de que essas narrativas de vida, uma
vez que fabricadas no Ocidente com base nas lógicas da indústria cultural de massa e da
literatura de grande produção, são apresentadas ao público circunscritas pelos discursos neoorientalistas
do choque de civilizações. Referimo-nos aos discursos veiculados no pós-11 de
setembro de 2001, que, reiterando o discurso orientalista criticado por Edward Said, dividiram
o mundo em Ocidente superior versus Oriente inferior. Assim sendo, investigam-se, no
primeiro capítulo, as implicações dos discursos da Guerra ao Terror para o interesse
comercial em narrativas pessoais de mulheres muçulmanas. Além disso, as narrativas do
corpus são examinadas no intuito de caracterizar o subgênero de autobiografias best-sellers de
mulheres muçulmanas, principalmente no que concerne às dicotomias liberdade/opressão,
subversão/submissão. No segundo capítulo, problematizam-se os pressupostos e a
importância do gênero autobiográfico e dos conceitos de verdade e autenticidade para a
ascensão desses livros, bem como as relações de coautoria presentes em tais narrativas.
Depois, no terceiro capítulo, o foco está em tornar visíveis as vozes editoriais e suas
contribuições para a espetacularização do topos da mulher muçulmana enquanto vítima a ser
resgatada de sua sociedade. Para tanto, serão analisados os discursos peritextuais dessas
autobiografias (capa, contracapa e abas). Assim sendo, busca-se problematizar os limites e as
possibilidades da auto-representação do sujeito subalterno em contextos marcados pela
inequidade de forças e por agenciamentos da fala.
