Crossing Enemy Lines in Ken Loach’s Ae Fond Kiss/Just A Kiss
In the West, negative stereotypes of Muslims and Islam are not limited to the post-9/11 era, and surface not only in the media and non-fiction but also in literature, fine art, film, and children’s cartoons. This article focuses on depictions following 9/11, specifically on the ways in which the dom...

This article focuses on depictions following 9/11, specifically on the ways in which the dominant image of the Muslim as ‘enemy’ can be subverted in film through an analysis of Ae Fond Kiss (dir. Ken Loach, 2004). It focuses on questions of identity, and the emergence of what social anthropologists such as Vertovec (1997) label ‘new ethnicities’ (the development of hybrid or syncretic cultural identities). The acknowledgement of new ethnicities can serve to counter facile negative stereotyping and the entrenched bias that sometimes permeate mainstream British media and culture. En Occident, les stéréotypes négatifs des musulmans et de l'Islam ne se limitent pas à l'ère post-11 septembre, et se font remarquer non seulement dans les médias et les documentaires, mais aussi dans la littérature, les beaux-arts, les films et les dessins animés pour enfants. Cet article s’intéresse aux représentations après le 11 septembre, en particulier sur les façons dont l'image dominante du musulman comme « ennemi » peut être renversée au cinéma à travers une analyse d’Ae Fond Kiss (dir. Ken Loach, 2004). Nous nous attardons sur les questions d'identité et l'émergence de ce que les anthropologues sociaux comme Vertovec (1997) appellent les « nouvelles ethnicités » (le développement d’identités culturelles hybrides ou syncrétiques). La reconnaissance de nouvelles ethnicités peut servir à contrer les stéréotypes négatifs simplistes et les préjugés enracinés qui imprègnent parfois les médias et la culture britanniques populaires. |
