Conclusion 401 Bibliography 419 330 $aMedia depictions of Arabs and Muslims continue to be framed by images of camels, belly dancers, and dagger-wearing terrorists. But do only Hollywood movies and TV news have the power to frame public discourse? This interdisciplinary study transfers media framing theory to literary studies to show how life writing (re-)frames Orientalist stereotypes. The innovative analysis of the post-9/11 autobiographies »West of Kabul, East of New York«, »Letters from Cairo«, and »Howling in Mesopotamia« makes a powerful claim to approach literature based on a theory of production and reception, thus enhancing the multi-disciplinary potential of framing theory. 330 1 $a»Although the book discusses only autobiographies as an effective reframing tool, it stands out as an astounding monograph about Arab/Muslim American scholarship in general, and will be of use to diverse scholars in pursuit of ethnic, transnational, and postcolonial studies.« 330 1 $a»Although the book discusses only autobiographiesas an effective reframing tool, it stands out as an astounding monograph about Arab/Muslim American scholarship in general, and will be of use to diverse scholarsin pursuit of ethnic, transnational, and postcolonial studies.« 410 0$aEdition Kulturwissenschaft 517 2 $aSchmidt, (Re-)Framing the Arab/Muslim$eMediating Orientalism in Contemporary Arab American Life Writing 606 $aOrientalism 606 $aFraming 606 $aLife Writing 606 $aMedia 606 $a9/11 606 $aPostcolonialism 606 $aCulture 606 $aPostcolonial Studies 606 $aCultural Studies 606 $aMedia Studies 606 $aAmerica 615 4$aOrientalism 615 4$aFraming 615 4$aLife Writing 615 4$aMedia 615 4$a9/11 615 4$aPostcolonialism 615 4$aCulture 615 4$aPostcolonial Studies 615 4$aCultural Studies 615 4$aMedia Studies 615 4$aAmerica 676 $a325.3 700 $aSchmidt$b Silke$p
