Description
Summary:How did the French Television cover the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988)? What imaginary did the TV journalists refer to? Why and how has the political, economic and social context in France also interfered in reading the conflict? Based on a systematic study of the eight years of this War as shown by French TV, this article aims to analyze the shifts that have taken place, ranging from a presentation of a conventional and distant war, with its parallel with the First World War and for then, leading to the appearance of a great fear of Islam. It also aims to complete studies on the crystallization of representations of an "Islamic threat" in France in the 1980s.
