The Domestication of Terrorism: 9/11 and the War In Iraq In Newspapers From Montreal, Canada
Abstract
El trabajo presenta la domesticación del terrorismo en dos de los diarios más importantes de Montreal, Canadá: The Gazette (anglófono) y La Presse (francófono). A través del análisis de repertorios interpretativos mostramos cómo se domestica (se hace local) el terrorismo acontecido el 9/11 del 2001 y la Guerra en Irak (2003) en esos medios y cómo se articula al imaginario social. Esto nos permite explorar las apropiaciones culturales del terrorismo en dos grupos culturales, en una sociedad como la de Montreal. Palabras Clave: terrorismo, domesticación, The Gazette, La Presse, periódicos, Canadá, repertorios interpretativos. AbstractThis article analyzes the ‘domestication’ of terrorism in Montreal’s[i] most relevant newspapers: The Gazette (Anglophone) and La Presse (French-speaking). Through the use of interpretive repertoires, the paper discusses how the terrorism acts of 9/11, 2001 and their aftermath (War in Iraq, 2003) were “domesticated” (turned into local issues) and articulated to a social imaginary. This allowed the exploration of the cultural appropiation of terrorism by two contrasting cultural groups in Montreal. Key Words: terrorism, domestication, The Gazette, La Presse, newspapers, Canada, interpretive repertoires.
