Abstract

This article analyzes the Ground Zero Mosque discursive event and the discourses surrounding the American Muslim Community and explores the role of the media in the production and reproduction processes of anti-Muslim frames. To understand Islamophobia in the United States in the context of religious pluralism, this article adopts Critical Discourse Analysis, under which two theories unfold: sourcing theory and framing theory. The sourcing analysis targeted the media voices monitoring the discourses and contributing to the discursive construction and interpretation of mosque proposal into an agenda-led image. The second theory is framing, which consists of including a perceived reality—in the news—, making it more salient, and presenting it to the audience. The data analyzed were collected from CNN and Fox News via Lexis Nexis online academic database. A total of 225 media transcripts—(n=138) Fox News and (n=87) CNN—constituted the text and were coded and analyzed using Atlas.ti data mining software program. The critical analysis has resulted in a number of 180 voices—e.g. journalists, politicians, academics, officials, etc. — contribution of the discursive construction of the non-violence event, ofwhich 150 were anti-Muslim activists, journalists, politicians, reportedly formerMuslim Brotherhood member, etc. The study has also resulted in two mainframes: frame of illegitimacy and frame of terrorism, transforming the nonviolenceevent into a celebrated violent one, thereby providing a vivid image ofAmerica’s project of religious pluralism and its capacity to accommodate thereligions existing within the American confines.Artikel ini menganalisis peristiwa acara diskursif Masjid Ground Zero danwacana seputar Komunitas Muslim Amerika dan mengeksplorasi peran mediadalam proses produksi dan reproduksi bingkai anti-Muslim.

911事件后美国宗教多元化背景下的归零地清真寺:主流新闻媒体对该话语事件报道的批评性分析
本文分析了归零地清真寺的话语事件和围绕美国穆斯林社区的话语,并探讨了媒体在反穆斯林框架的产生和复制过程中的作用。为了在宗教多元化的背景下理解美国的伊斯兰恐惧症,本文采用了批判性话语分析法,在这一分析法下展开了两种理论:来源理论和框架理论。来源分析的目标是监控话语的媒体声音,并有助于将清真寺提案的话语构建和解释为议程主导的图像。第二种理论是框架,它包括在新闻中包含感知到的现实,使其更加突出,并将其呈现给观众。分析的数据是通过Lexis Nexis在线学术数据库从CNN和福克斯新闻收集的。共有225份媒体记录——(n=138)福克斯新闻和(n=87)美国有线电视新闻网——构成了文本,并使用Atlas.ti数据挖掘软件程序进行编码和分析。批判性分析产生了180个声音——例如记者、政治家、学者、官员等——对非暴力事件的话语构建做出了贡献,其中150个是反穆斯林活动家、记者、政治家,据报道是前穆斯林兄弟会成员等。这项研究还产生了两个主要框架:非法性框架和恐怖主义框架,将年的非暴力事件转变为著名的暴力事件,从而生动地展示了美国的宗教多元化项目及其容纳美国境内存在的宗教的能力。本文分析了Discursive Ground Zero清真寺和整个美国穆斯林社区的事件,并探讨了媒体在反穆斯林框架的产生和复制中的作用。为了在宗教多元主义的背景下理解美国的伊斯兰恐惧症,本文采用了批判马车分析法,其中出现了两种理论:来源理论和框架理论。来源分析针对的是垄断wacana的媒体声音,这些声音有助于对清真寺的提议进行散漫式的构建,并将其解读为骚乱引发的反思。第二种理论是框架,它包括进入一个现实,让人感觉——在新闻中——使其更加突出,并将其呈现为观众。分析的数据是通过在线学术数据库Lexis Nexis从CNN和福克斯新闻收集的。多达225份媒体记录——(n=138)福克斯新闻和(n=87)美国有线电视新闻网——是使用Atlas.ti挖掘软件进行文本和编码分析的。为非暴力事件的建设性建设做出贡献,其中150人是反穆斯林活动家、记者、政治家、前穆斯林已婚成员等。这项研究还产生了两个主要框架:非法性框架和恐怖主义框架,恐怖主义将非暴力转化为一个非常残酷的事件。这清楚地反映了美国的宗教多元化项目及其容纳美国境内宗教的能力。

期刊介绍: Indonesian Journal of Islam and Muslim Societies (IJIMS): This journal should coverage Islam both as a textual tradition with its own historical integrity and as a social reality which was dynamic and constantly changing. The journal also aims at bridging the gap between the textual and contextual approaches to Islamic Studies; and solving the dichotomy between ‘orthodox’ and ‘heterodox’ Islam. So, the journal invites the intersection of several disciplines and scholars. In other words, its contributors borrowed from a range of disciplines, including the humanities and social sciences.
