- Abstract
-
This chapter focuses on recent debates on women and Islam as framed in the Western media. The first section discusses the way these debates are organized through the presentations and self-presentations of Muslim women in the Western media. The second section (titled “The Restyling of Western Dmocracies through the Media”) considers these presentations against the backdrop of the “mediatization” of politics in the Western world. The third section (titled “Media Strategies for Cross-Cultural Feminism and Their Importance for Democracy”) evaluates how a cross-cultural feminist politics could benefit from this development.
