【 摘 要 】

The study uses Said’s concept of Orientalism and van Dijks concept of socio-cognitive processes to analyze the framing of Pakistani Muslim women in the newsmagazine Time from 1998-2002. A critical discourse analysis of the selected articles of the magazine follows Fairclough’s and van Dijk’s guidelines. It uncovers how in a particular socio-political context, stereotyped images of Pakistani Muslim women were framed to project “superior American” ideals of “tolerance” and “democracy,” as against the “intolerant,” “undemocratic” values of Muslim as “others.” It also argues how in the process of “othering” Pakistan and particularly its youth are framed as intolerant, and source of fear.
