项目摘要

Nature and context of the projectThis three-year project offers the first cross-national study of televisual representations of Islam as security threat. It examines three countries (Britain, France and Russia) which share similarities in their postcolonial relations with Islamic states, resident Muslim populations, and concern with the 'war on terror', but also exhibit differences of media and political cultures, international alignments, and policy towards Muslim minorities. Theory and methodThe study combines insights from media/cultural and political research. (i) Any pluralistic political culture is subject to ideological competition for domination of political language and public policy. To compare the political/social values and assumptions underpinning the framing of the Islam/security issue in each of the three countries, the project draws on recent advances in the theorisation of ideologies as distinctive, evolving configurations of concepts which can be grouped by family resemblance but also analysed in terms of local variation within each group.(ii) Academic literature on political communication (the interface of politics and the media) provides tools to analyse the intersection between ideological and technical factors shaping representations of the Islam/security issue through editorial choices (of inclusion/exclusion, running order, duration and salience), alongside journalists' news values and news-gathering practices, in relation to the structures and resources of the news organizations involved. (iii) Analysis of how the media communicate ideologically coloured understandings of the issue requires attention to the verbal dimension in the light of discourse-sensitive, media studies models of the relationship between language, legitimacy and power. This will enable scrutiny of how different 'voices' on the subject of Islam/security are assimilated into the broadcasts' discursive structure. (iv) Since the visual impact of broadcasters' choices is essential to the representation of Islamic/security concerns, text-based approaches will be complemented by those dealing with screen media-specific codes, alongside models of the word/image interplay which structures TV messages. ObjectivesThe project will (i) differentiate French, British and Russian television representations of the Islamic dimension to the 'War on Terror'; (ii) examine how security issues link with immigration and integration questions; (iii) analyse the relationship between the 'War on Terror' and the assertion of national identities; (iv) compare the ideological systems underlying the framing of a key issue; (v) set out a methodological synthesis combining recent developments in political theory of ideology with cultural studies approaches to media representations.Specifically, it will examine where the respective broadcasts position the nations whose official voices they articulate within the 'geopolitical space' in which the 'War on Terror' is unfolding. It will establish how images of 'terrorists', 'ethnic minorities' and 'Muslim Fundamentalists' are produced and linked within the different representational regimes and how they reflect historical and current relationships with Islamic cultures. Execution and applicationsThe data sources are news broadcasts on the three principal public channels. The proposers bring complementary expertise, not only in their disciplinary approaches, but also in their experience of researching related fields and their knowledge of the societies under investigation, including competence in the relevant languages. Their work will be supported by two research officers, operating bilingually in French-English and Russian-English, to monitor, and help analyse, the broadcasts, and to contribute to the dissemination of findings. The publications will promote understanding of the political/cultural construction of meanings attributed to a threat currently preoccupying Europe.

该项目的三年项目的性质和背景提供了首次将伊斯兰视为安全威胁的电视宣传表现的跨国研究。它研究了三个国家（英国，法国和俄罗斯），它们在与伊斯兰国家，居民穆斯林人口的后殖民关系中具有相似之处，并关注“反恐战争”，但也表现出媒体和政治文化，国际统一，国际统一和对穆斯林少数民族的政策的差异。理论和方法研究结合了媒体/文化和政治研究的见解。（i）任何多元政治文化都受到政治语言和公共政策统治的意识形态竞争。要比较三个国家中每个国家中伊斯兰/安全问题框架的政治/社会价值观和假设，该项目取决于意识形态的理论上的最新进步，是独特的概念，可以不断发展的概念的配置，这些概念可以由家庭相似，但在每个组中都提供了媒体的交流（II）。意识形态和技术因素之间的交集通过编辑选择（包容/排除，跑步秩序，持续时间和显着性）与记者的新闻价值观和新闻收集实践以及涉及的新闻机构的结构和资源有关。（iii）分析媒体如何交流意识形态上有色人种的理解，需要根据对话语敏感的，媒体研究模型的语言，合法性和权力之间的关系模型的关注。这将对伊斯兰/安全主题的不同“声音”的审查能够审查。（iv）由于广播公司选择的视觉影响对于代表伊斯兰/安全问题至关重要，因此与屏幕媒体特定代码的人以及构造电视消息的单词/图像相互作用的模型相同，基于文本的方法将得到补充。 Objectivesthe项目将（i）区分“反恐战争”的法国，英国和俄罗斯电视代表；（ii）检查安全问题如何与移民和整合问题联系在一起；（iii）分析“反恐战争”与民族身份的主张之间的关系；（iv）比较关键问题框架的意识形态系统；（v）制定了一种方法上的综合，将意识形态的政治理论与文化研究方法结合在一起的最新发展与媒体代表的方法。特别是，它将研究各自的广播位置，其在“地缘政治空间”中表达的官方声音的国家在其中展开了“反恐战争”的发展。它将确定“恐怖分子”，“少数民族”和“穆斯林原教旨主义者”的形象如何在不同的代表性政权中产生和联系，以及它们如何反映与伊斯兰文化的历史和当前关系。执行和应用程序数据源是三个主要公共渠道上的新闻广播。提议者不仅在他们的纪律方法中，而且还带来了互补的专业知识，而且还具有研究相关领域的经验及其对正在调查的社会的知识，包括相关语言的能力。他们的工作将得到两名研究人员的支持，他们在法国英语和俄语 - 英语中双语运作，以监视和帮助分析，广播，并为调查结果传播做出贡献。该出版物将促进对归因于当前关注欧洲威胁的含义的政治/文化建构的理解。
