Mainstream media analyses and a large majority of scholarly accounts in European capitals and the US focus disproportionately on the terrorists, or the individuals and organizations involved in the War on Terror. Such mainstream analyses of 9/11 and its aftermath regularly portray citizens and countries in the global South as incapable of resisting or fighting against extremism in their own terms. This article aims to complexify the narrative of Sept. 11, extending it in time and space, and tires to think the post-11 September decade from a de-centered/postcolonial perspective -- that is, a different perspective of the dominant narratives prevalent in the power centers of the global North/West. Adapted from the source document.

Are the mass media ideologically dominant, or is their unfettered polysemy a constructive force in modern society? From the perspective of Constructivist Social Psychology we argue that the daily newspaper is a mosaic in which promotes multiple dialogues about, & representations of, the news. A newspaper is dialogic in three senses: it is a sounding-board for multiple voices, from various sources & with correspondingly various positions on the news; it is a social actor, with its own voice & position about what it reports; & it is a forum for dialogue with readers, who are active co-authors of the stories that they read. In other words, the newspaper is a channel for the expression of the hegemonic struggles of a given place & time.
