This study offers a framework for approaching an analysis of the
discourse on Palestine in the contemporary United States by
conducting a close investigation of print news contributions to
that discourse. Relevant theoretical frameworks are applied in
order to interpret definitions of discourse, processes of discourse
formation, and in particular contributions from the news media to
contemporary discourse in the United States. This study argues that
contemporary discourse constructs Palestine as an other opposed to
contemporary conceptions of a national self. This assertion is made
according to relevant theoretical approaches considering the
formation of individual and group identities. This study further
seeks to delineate the characteristics of the self and the other
through an analysis of relevant examples from news media discourse.
Aspects of the contemporary American identity are thereby examined,
and through this investigation, the dynamic relationship between
conceptions of the American "self" and constructions of the
Palestinian "other" is elucidated.
