AB - To frame is to select some aspects of a perceived reality and emphasize, diagnose and interpret them from a particular perspective. In the daily usages, you can easily find the meaning of “framing” as producing false evidence against an innocent person so that people think he or she is guilty. A frame can be said to editorialize realities in a certain way.
According to Judith Butler, “to call the frame into question is to show that the frame never quite contained the scene it was meant to limn, that something was already outside, which made the very sense of the inside possible recognizable.” But unlike such a concept as representation and reproduction, the frame cannot hide its own vulnerability and fictionality perfectly, so never quite determine precisely what it is we see, think, and recognize.
Accordingly I try to show how the images of Afghanistan women have been framed and reframed after 9/11 in mainstream media, and explore the lack or excess of framing through reading Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns, which both reinforces and breaks down the stereotypical views of the veiled Afghan women.
