یہ ستم کس لیے اب خود پہ نہ ڈھایا جائے
دل سے وہ وعدہ فراموش بھلایا جائے
تلخ یادوں کو تلف کرنا ہے لازم ٹھہرا
ہر ورق مصحفِ ہستی کا جلایا جائے

Pakistan: a site of orientalist journalism (selected texts of Ethan Casey and Mary Anne Weaver This thesis is an attempt to analyze texts socially within linguistics. The discourse analysis shows how language becomes the tool for constructing representations of the `other,' and in a larger context, across a variety of social institutions. The researcher draws upon Foucault's knowledge, language and power framework, its impact on linguistics, and the emerging positions for analyzing spoken or written language under the rubric of actual discourse analysis. Focusing on the importance of the produced text, it exemplifies power and knowledge relationship within the 'eurocentric discourse. 'This study establishes a relationship between language and power as expressed in the post 9/11 Western journalistic writings on Pakistan. The researcher believes that the tradition of Orientalism places shackles on the Western journalists who set out to explain Pakistan to a larger audience. The researcher has tried to interpret Orientalism from the Pakistani perspective, and contends that though the present-day Western journalists are conscious of maintaining objectivity in their representation of Pakistan, they operate within the Orientalist discursive framework. Journalistic representations make Pakistan a site of Orientalist journalism, where discursive structures such as eurocentrism and generalizations construct a reality about it. Orientalism, however, should not be understood as a monolith, denying a possibility of resistance. Instead, representations emerge from conflicting discourses. Consciousness of this fact is the first step of emancipation. There are, consequently, many methods of resistance that Pakistanis can work on to counter the hegemonic and imperialist designs, expressed in the Western Journalistic discourse. The researcher's theory of resistance in the Pakistani framework does not blame the journalists, as they operate within the specified discursive frameworks. Resistance does not imply sheer oppositionality; it requires entering in the dominant discourse and destabilizing it.
