Intersezionalità nelle riviste“femminili” mainstream? Il caso della rappresentazione delle donne musulmane italiane
Abstract
Drawing on a reflection on Islam and Muslims in Italy, and adopting a gendered perspective, the essay provides a contribution to the analysis of media representations of Islam. Examining the way Islam is represented in the press allows us to identify the permanence of
colonial Orientalism in the contemporary narratives, in the forms of neo-Orientalism and
Islamophobia. Through research conducted between 2020 and 2022 on the major Italian
women’s magazines, an attempt was made to understand how Italian Muslim women are
represented and narrated in the mainstream women’s press. Through the tools of critical
discourse analysis, the essay interrogates the apparent intersectional approach adopted by
these magazines.
