摘要

东方主义话语在很大程度上塑造了穆斯林女性如何在西方视觉媒体中被描绘成被压迫的、被征服的或外来的。然而,随着社交媒体平台的出现,穆斯林女性正在利用社交媒体空间重新表达通过东方主义叙事传播的控制形象。本文考察了视觉媒体与穆斯林女性之间的复杂关系,并证明东方主义的镜头继续构建着艺术、新闻和电影中塑造穆斯林女性视觉表现的想象。本文探讨了穆斯林女性如何利用YouTube等视觉平台和社交媒体空间来开展数字行动主义,试图颠覆本质主义叙事。这场讨论的中心是youtube用户Dina Tokio(2017)的纪录片,名为“# youraveragemmuslim”,它解决了西方先入为主的观念,而是提供了一个重新定义的“穆斯林女性”,基于抵制三种叙事:(1)穆斯林女性被压迫者,(2)穆斯林女性被征服者和(3)穆斯林女性被外国他者。这部纪录片清楚地展示了穆斯林女性如何以特定的方式使用社交媒体平台来塑造围绕穆斯林女性的话语。在这样做的过程中,他们展示了自己的代理能力,控制了自己的表现,为自己说话,而不是被别人说话。

Redefining #YourAverageMuslim woman: Muslim female digital activism on social media
Orientalist discourses have largely shaped how Muslim women have come to be represented in western visual media as oppressed, subjugated or foreign. However, with the advent of social media platforms, Muslim women are utilizing social media spaces to rearticulate the controlling images promulgated through orientalist narratives. This article examines the complex relationship visual media shares with Muslim women and demonstrates that the lens of orientalism continues to structure the imaginaries that shape visual representations of Muslim women in art, news and film. This article addresses how visual platforms and social media spaces such as YouTube are being utilized by Muslim women to undertake digital activism that seeks to subvert essentialist narratives. At the centre of this discussion is YouTuber Dina Tokio’s (2017) documentary, titled ‘#YourAverageMuslim’, which tackles western preconceived notions, and instead offers a redefined version of the ‘Muslim woman’ predicated on resisting three narratives: (1) Muslim-Woman-As-Oppressed, (2) Muslim-Woman-As-Subjugated and (3) Muslim-Woman-As-Foreign-Other. This documentary clearly demonstrates how Muslim women are using social media platforms in specific ways to shape the discourses around Muslim women. In doing so they are demonstrating their agentic capabilities, taking control of their representations, and speaking for themselves instead of being spoken for by others.
