چکیده | ||
Virtual Colonialism (Ameli, 2011) is reflecting a new trend of colonialism in the virtual space parallel to the physical space. According to Ameli(2007), with the “Dual Spacization” of life,the imperial powers like the United States of America take the advantage of the synchronization and translocality of the virtual space to expand their realm of imperial power through the “attraction” and “persuasion” strategies with the least costs and losses. The present paper analyzes the user-based website “YouTube” exploiting the critical discourse analysis method to examine the strategies through which it represents the Muslim/Iranian women whose identity arehighlighted by Hijab. The results indicate that the Americanization by “YouTube” is implemented in auser-based in a pluralist context. This is while the American discourse including the liberal democracy values and its politics ofIslamophobic and Iranophobic images of Muslims are prevalent in the “YouTube”. The paper depicts how the representation of Muslim woman and her hijab is demonized through the “YouTube” result videos.Furthermore, it shows this demonization is duplicated in the case of the Iranian Muslim women particularly because of the formal American politics of Iranophobia and regime change in Iran. Taking into account the high rank of “YouTube” as the third globally-viewed American website and its discursive advantage in the virtual space, the significance of the present study can be considerable. | ||
