“…Family migrants tend to feature in political debates as a group that is difficult to integrate into the job market (Kofman et al 2013). Furthermore, political discussions in the media on tightening family migration legislation often tend to frame the topic as a challenge for gender equality (Hagelund 2008;Razack 2004). Similarly, gender equality debates in general have become 'ethnicized' (Roggeband & Verloo 2007, 280).…”

Abstract:This article analyses problem framings in public debates on family migration in Finland. The study focuses on the less examined category of age and how it intersects with gender, race and religion. We examine the discursive context within which parliamentarians and the media negotiate questions of migration policies, belonging and citizenship. Our analysis identifies problem framings by combining frame analysis with the 'What is the problem represented to be?' (WPR) approach, which understands policies as problematizations.We found that the debates held up the rather common notion of vulnerable women and children as groups that tighter family migration policies protect. The debates excluded certain racialized migrant families from cultural citizenship. Simultaneously, however, the public debate 'whitewashed' other families to make them suitable for inclusion. Here, the right to care for elderly family members played a central part in negotiations over cultural citizenship.Keywords: family migration, cultural citizenship, race, media, parliamentary debates, intersectionality The names of the authors appear in alphabetical order to indicate equal contribution to the article.

“…They are actively pursuing an Islamophobic strategy of "othering" Muslims and Arabs (or people who "look Arab"). Razack (2004) argues that such "othering" proceeds through the portrayal of Muslims as "unassimilable, duplicitous, tribal," requiring "the force of law to bring them into modernity" (p. 138). Again, the parallels with Jewish history are striking.…”

This article focuses on the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Antisemitism (CPCCA): a self-appointed group of parliamentarians dedicated to extinguishing what it calls “the new antisemitism.” Working from a Gramscian perspective, we identify key discursive strategies in coalition publications and testimony and argue that despite the CPCCA’s pretence to being a forum for liberal-pluralist debate, in fact it is engaged in an ideological reframing of human rights designed to restrict political debate. It does so, paradoxically, by drawing on the language of left-liberalism, which contrasts with recent ideological interventions aiming to secure the priorities of the neo-liberal state.RÉSUMÉ Cet article porte sur la Coalition parlementaire canadienne de lutte contre l’antisémitisme, un groupe de parlementaires auto-désignés qui se consacrent à supprimer ce qu’ils appellent le « nouvel antisémitisme ». Dans cet article, nous avons recours à une perspective gramscienne pour identifier des stratégies discursives clés dans les publications et les témoignages de la Coalition et nous soutenons que, bien qu’elle se veuille un forum pour des débats libéraux-pluralistes, la Coalition s’engage au fait dans un recadrage idéologique des droits humains ayant pour conséquence la restriction de débats politiques. Elle le fait, paradoxalement, en empruntant le langage du libéralisme de gauche, qui offre un contraste par rapport à des interventions idéologiques récentes dont le but est d’assurer les priorités de l’état néolibéral.

“…Movie product which has theme of women against the patriarchy systems has become a turning point in the struggle of the feminist followers. This article gives an important addition to the still limited work on feminist struggle through media by exploring an example in Indonesian context (Edgar 2006;Ghodsee 2012;Razack 2004;Moghadam 2004).…”

This paper aims to interpret the women resistance towards the patriarchy system on a documentary film entitled "Dilema Ijab Kabul". The focus of the documentary film analysis which portrays the behavior of early marriage is to be the earliest mapping in explaining that the action the women take is really as an opposition or vice versa. The concept used in analyzing the resistance of women against patrialkhal system in this documentary was the concept of the meaning of each daily interactions in society, women's position, and orientation in a relation to men and women. Based on the finding, the analysis result of this documentary movie tries to invite the audience to see the wedding of the social phenomenon that is very different from the usual.Marriage is shown by a hegemony which then leads to a form of resistance from the women. Resistance to the patriarchy system which is done by women in the documentary movie is seen from many phenomenon of early marriage, divorce, and re-marry.
