    • Abstract:
      Media representations have always been seen as a site of power struggles. Often, media imbalances embody layers of meaning embedded in an ethnocentric notion of history of societies and depicting non-Western as subaltern identities. This research paper starts from a feminist constructionist and intersectional perspective to understand the values, beliefs and ideologies beneath narratives of journalistic texts and readers’ comments. We use as a case study the Portuguese mainstream media coverage of the burkini-bans in France and the readers’ comments, which were examined through critical thematic analysis. Not surprisingly, while the Portuguese news media seek neutrality, readers’ comments are overall highly fuelled by a variety of orientalist stereotypes against Muslim women. As equally significant, there is a lack of gender-based discussion in public conversations on this issue. Thus, the results reveal that the media landscape is far beyond challenging the status quo of the West’s hegemonic position towards women who are perceived as Others. ; Na medijske prikaze oduvijek se gleda kao na mjesto borbe za moć. Medijske neravnoteže često utjelovljuju slojeve značenja ugrađene u etnocentrični pojam povijesti društava i prikazuju nezapadne identitete kao podređene. Ovaj istraživački rad polazi od feminističke konstrukcionističke i intersekcionalne perspektive kako bi se razumjele vrijednosti, uvjerenja i ideologije ispod narativa novinarskih tekstova i komentara čitatelja. Kao studiju slučaja koristimo izvještavanje portugalskih mainstream medija o zabrani burkinija u Francuskoj i komentare čitatelja, koji su ispitani kroz kritičku tematsku analizu. Nije iznenađujuće što su, za razliku od portugalskih medija koji teže neutralnosti, komentari čitatelja općenito snažno potaknuti raznim orijentalističkim stereotipima vezanima za muslimanke. Jednako je značajan i nedostatak rodno utemeljenih rasprava u javnom razgovoru o tom pitanju. Dakle, rezultati otkrivaju da je medijski krajolik daleko od mogućnosti utjecanja na ...
