This is reflected in terms of van Dijk's notions of an us vs them binarism, where a positive in-group is opposed to a negative out-group representation. In this way, the construction of an anti-Western (and pro-Islamist) ideology can be seen, regardless of the content of the actual literary works themselves.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessIslamic society engineeringTranslationTeun A. van DijkCritical discourse analysisPeritextsArticle10.1007/s10583-014-9218-y2-s2.0-84912034321
