| description | The problem of religious profiling and the increase of animosity, exclusion and maltreatment
of Muslim minorities in the West have reached an unprecedented level in a community
where racism and segregation are usually denounced. The paper investigates the
concept of Islamophobia as presented in 25 selected caricature images, along with their
accompanying texts, chosen from magazines and specialized cartoon websites. Multimodality
and its related analytic tools are utilized for making explicit the interactive messages
encoded within these caricature images. The theoretical framework upon which this
study is conducted incorporates Halliday’s (1978) three metafunctions, and Kress and Van
Leeuwen’s (1996) adaptation of them for the analysis of images and their captions. |
