Orientalism as news

Pictorial representations of the US attack on Iraq in Delo

Ilija Tomanic Trivundza

University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, ilija.tomanic-trivundza{at}fdv.uni-lj.si

The article addresses the issue of essentially Orientalistic pictorial coverage of the US invasion of Iraq in the Slovene daily newspaper, Delo. The study showed that such framing was not solely the result of western control over the images of war but was, to a large extent, a consequence of a set of specific sociohistorical factors, namely the particular political situation at the time of the invasion and the workings of the mechanisms of Slovene national identity construction that draws its strength from replicating the Occident-Orient oppositions in the Balkan geopolitical reality. The article points to the persistent ideological role of news photographs as expressions of a collective historical consciousness.
