@article { , title = {Charlie Hebdo attack and discourses of Muslims in British and Danish newspapers: a cross-cultural critical discourse analysis of four newspapers.}, abstract = {A perceived shift to the right when representing Muslims in the press in Europe has been evident in recent years. Events such as 9/11, the July 2005 London bombings, broader European discussions and mainstreaming of populist discourses have marked a significant shift in the media focusing on Muslims living in Europe. This paper outlines the discourses used to represent Muslims, via conducting multimodal critical discourse analysis. The paper focuses on the 2015 Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack and cross-culturally compares four newspapers in two countries – the UK and Denmark. Results indicate 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 leaning newspapers. This situated threat is demonstrated through discourses framing both countries in contrast to Muslim ‘values’. Furthermore, both countries focus on utilising Muslim ‘voices’ who are part of a Star System that are critical of Muslim communities.}, conference = {2018 Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA) postgraduate network conference (MeCCSA PGN 2018): contemporary news discourse around the globe}, doi = {10.31165/nk.2019.121.546}, eissn = {1755-9944}, issn = {1755-9944}, issue = {1}, journal = {Networking knowledge: journal of the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network}, note = {INFO COMPLETE (checked, info via CMcL 5/9/2019 LM) PERMISSION REQUESTED (No reply, uploaded article 8/10/2019 LM -- chased 20/9/2019 LM -- emailed madhushala08@gmail.com 5/9/2019 LM) DOCUMENT READY (VoR downloaded 5/9/2019 LM) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (DOI link not working)}, pages = {23-44}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA)}, url = {https://rgu-repository.worktribe.com/output/479648}, volume = {12}, keyword = {Media discourse, Muslim representation, Multi-modal critical discourse analysis, Charlie Hebdo, UK, Denmark}, year = {2019}, author = {Lawrie, Michelle} }
