    Thomas More Kempen FACULTEIT LETTEREN SINT-ANDRIESSTRAAT 2 2000 ANTWERPEN BELGIE Masterproef aangeboden tot het verkrijgen van het diploma Master of Arts in het vertalen The Discourse of a Conflict: Critical Discourse Analysis of the Ideological Representation of the Other in Online News Aljazeera and Alarabiya on the 2017-18 GCC Crisis: a case study Door: Ruben Van Nimmen Promotor: Houssine Id-Youss ACADEMIEJAAR 2017-2018 Preface First of all, I wish to explain a number of references that have been made in the Literature Review. As the present research discusses a current development in the Gulf region, i.e. the 2017-18 GCC Crisis, references have been made to a number of news reports. However, as this study intends to investigate the role of ideology in the news reports by Aljazeera and Alarabiya, I decided to limit references to news reports by those two, yet selected the following networks: BBC, Le Monde, The Washington Post, CNN, The New York Times. References to these networks have been made in the Literature Review and to verify the factual information offered by the corpus, as will become clear in the Results chapter. In addition, I consulted reports by independent organization such as Freedom House and the Committee to Protect Journalists. References to Aljazeera or Alarabiya in the Literature Review have been made only to discuss superficial and rather factual information. Moreover, when referring to the blockading quartet in the 2017-18 GCC Crisis, I only used Saudi Arabia at times, for Saudi Arabia is regarded as one of the leading countries in the conflict and in the region.

  • Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar
    Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar Rehenuma Asmi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy under the executive committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Rehenuma Asmi All rights reserved ABSTRACT Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam Rehenuma Asmi My study explores language ideologies in the capital city of Doha, Qatar, where school reform movements are placing greater emphasis on English language acquisition. Through ethnography and a revised theory of language ideologies, I argue that as languages come in greater contact in multi-lingual spaces, mediation must occur between the new and old relationships that are emerging as a result of population growth, policy changes and cross-cultural interactions. I interrogate the development concept of the “knowledge economy” as it is used to justify old and new language ideologies regarding Arabic and English. As Qataris change their education systems in response to the economic development framework of the “knowledge economy,” they are promoting language ideologies that designate English as useful for the economy and “global” citizenship and Qatari Arabic and Standard Arabic as useful for religious and cultural reasons. I argue that Standard English, through its association with the “knowledge economy,” becomes “de-localized” and branded an “international” language. This ideology presents English as a modern language free of the society in which it is embedded, to circulate around the globe. In contrast, Standard Arabic is represented as stiff, archaic language of religious traditions and Qatari Arabic is presented as the language of oral culture and ethnonationalism.

Established in 1909, the International District Energy Association (IDEA) serves as a vital commu- nications and information hub for the district energy industry, connecting industry professionals and advancing the technology around the world. With headquarters just outside of Boston, Mass., IDEA comprises over 2,000 district heating and cooling system executives, managers, engineers, consultants and equipment suppliers from 23 countries. IDEA supports the growth and utilization of district energy as a means to conserve fuel, increase energy efficiency and resilience, and reduce emissions. The publication of District Energy Space has become an annual tradition for the International District Energy Association since 1990. Each year, IDEA asks all of its member systems in North America (compilation initiated in 1990) and beyond North America (compilation initiated in 2004) to provide information on the number of buildings and their area in square feet that committed or recommitted to district energy service during the previous calendar year. This issue compiles growth that was reported for the calendar year 2014, or previously unreported for recent years. To qualify for consideration in District Energy Space, a renewal would have to be a contracted building or space that had been scheduled to expire and was subject to renewal under a contract with a duration of 10 years or more.
