A representação das mulheres afegãs na mídia ocidental: uma análise feita a partir dos discursos de "salvação dessas mulheres" que se perpetuaram com a retirada das tropas americanas do Afeganistão (2020-2021)

Abstract

This project seeks to analyze the representation of Muslim women in the media, from the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan (2020-2021). With the withdrawal of American troops, many global media outlets turned their covers to portray the oppression of Afghan women during this period. In this way, the text will analyze the prominence given to the Muslim woman to portray the episode and how the media made the construction of the image of the Afghans and reinforced the discourse that "we need to save these women". In addition, I will study how the media voluntarily, or involuntarily, endorses the Western discourse of delay and submission of the figure of the Muslim woman seeking to understand the reasons why this was particularly highlighted in the context of the Taliban’s resumption to power. I will make the analysis with emphasis on the publications of the major Brazilian editorials, precisely because of the great notoriety and repercussion that the subject generated at the national level. During the project, in addition to exploring the media as a strong political actor and opinion maker, I intend to discuss how this salvage speech corroborates the interventionist argument I intend to do a literature review on Islamic Feminism to support my argument.partir do resumo anterior
