Razing history newspaper narratives of ISIS’ destruction of Palmyran cultural heritage

Vuonna 2014 perustettu Islamilainen valtio eli ISIS tuli pian syntymänsä jälkeen surullisenkuuluisaksi kulttuuriperintökohteiden tuhoamisen ansiosta, ja muun muassa Palmyran antiikkiset rauniot Syyriassa joutuivat heidän uhreikseen.

description Vuonna 2014 perustettu Islamilainen valtio eli ISIS tuli pian syntymänsä jälkeen surullisenkuuluisaksi kulttuuriperintökohteiden tuhoamisen ansiosta, ja muun muassa Palmyran antiikkiset rauniot Syyriassa joutuivat heidän uhreikseen. Kansainvälinen lehdistö etenkin länsimaissa uutisoi tapahtumista laajasti. Tässä maisterintutkielmassa analysoin englanninkielisen länsimaalaisen sanomalehdistön uutisointia koskien Palmyran kulttuuriperintökohteiden tuhoamista aikavälillä 1.6.2014 –31.12.2017. Englanninkielistä lehdistöä ovat edustamassa amerikkalainen The New York Timessekä englantilainen The Guardian. Lähilukua hyödyntävän ensisijaisen analyysin jälkeen tutkimusmateriaaliksi muodostui 45:n artikkelin muodostama alkuperäislähteistö. Aihetta on tutkittu verrattain vähän aikaisemmassa tutkimuksessa, ottaen huomioon Islamilaisen valtion huomattavan suosion tutkimuskohteena. Omassa analyysissäni keskityn sanomalehtien luomiin narratiivehin, joita käsittelen narratiivianalyysin kautta. Tutkimuksen tulokset nostavat esille kuinka molemmat sanomalehdet luovat sekundäärisiä narratiivejä kulttuuriperintökohteiden tuhoamisen antaman primäärinarratiivin ohelle. Sanomalehtien narratiivien väliset, usein huomattavat, erot tulevat myös esille analyysin aikana. Soon after its founding in 2014 the Islamic State aka. ISIS became infamous for the destruction of cultural heritage, and among other locations Palmyra's ancient ruins in Syria were targeted by them. International press especially in the West reported on the events extensively. In this master's thesis I analyze the reporting of English-language Western press concerning the destruction of Palmyran cultural heritage from 1.6.2014 to 31.12.2017. Representing English-language press are the American The New York Times and the British The Guardian. A preliminary analysis utilizing close reading resulted in primary sources of 45 articles, which form the research material. The topic has been researched relatively little considering ISIS' popularity as a research topic. In my own analysis, I focus on the narratives formed by the newspapers, which I utilize via narrative analysis. The results of the study highlight how both newspapers create secondary narratives in addition to the primary narrative formed by the destruction of cultural heritage. The differences between narratives formed by each newspapers are also highlighted during the analysis.
