A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication The Gendering of Victimhood: Western media and the Sinjar genocide1 Veronica Buffon and Christine Allison2 Abstract This article adopts a gender perspective on war, problematising media attention on Yezidi women since the attacks by ISIS. Sinjari Yezidis’ narratives/subjectivities since 2014 are silenced in Western media reports in favour of a “hyper-visibility” of women’s “injured bodies”, which mobilises a specific narrative of victimhood. Reports from UK and US broadsheet newspapers, plus the BBC, CNN and online publications are analysed, plus new data gathered through fieldwork among Yezidis in Northern Iraq. Western media draw on and reproduce cultural and gender representations, reinstating relations of power infused with orientalist and patriarchal tropes. The focus on women’s bodies moves attention away from the workings of namûs “honour” and the suffering of Yezidi men. Some Yezidi women who became activists, speaking as victims, are heard internationally; the compromises this entails are discussed in light of Fassin and Rechtman’s work on the politics of victimhood Introduction This article contributes to the literature on western representations of non-western women in conflict by considering western media reporting of the Sinjar genocide of 2014.

    News Release Tuesday 31 October 2017 NIGEL SHAFRAN ASKS THE QUESTIONS AS NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY DISPLAYS VIDEO PORTRAIT OF BBC RADIO 4’S TODAY PRESENTERS Today Everyday (from left: Mishal Husain, John Humphrys) by Nigel Shafran, 2017 © Nigel Shafran A video portrait of the five presenters of BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme goes on display at the National Portrait Gallery today to mark the programme’s sixtieth anniversary, it was announced today, Tuesday 31 October 2017. Filmed by in and around the Today studio over three days in July 2017, John Humphrys, Sarah Montague, Mishal Husain, Nick Robinson and Justin Webb were questioned by artist Nigel Shafran about their daily lives, domestic habits, shopping lists, conversations and memories. Their recollections are interspersed with scenes of empty studios and office spaces. The audio content of the new portrait, Today Everyday, provides a change of context for the presenters’ voices, which for Today listeners are normally heard discussing world affairs. Today Everyday (left to right: Justin Webb, Sarah Montague, Nick Robinson) by Nigel Shafran, 2017 © Nigel Shafran For this project it was felt an audiovisual portrait might be more fitting than a single photograph and the audio element had particular importance, as the public know the sitters primarily through their voices. The 14-minute film has a simple narrative beginning with the presenters’ early morning. In this opening section Sarah Montague talks about looking at her children sleeping with the light from her mobile phone. It then leads on to breakfast habits, coffee, everyday chores. Technology is discussed in-terms of how it assists tasks; how it can provide connections between people.
