    Las naciones del ámbito ibérico de influencia cultural han adquirido recientemente rasgos institucionales de modernidad, aunque manteniendo puntos de vista específicos de movilización colectiva en lo concerniente a lo que se asume sería una representación, un contacto y una interacción razonable con musulmanes. Comparamos datos de titulares de periódicos brasileños y españoles colectados en 2001 – antes del 11/9. Basándonos en literatura psicosocial sobre relaciones intergrupales, nos centramos en el debate sobre la cobertura de “musulmanes en acción” y “musulmanes en interacción con occidentales”. Concluimos que la simplificada representación de los periódicos del árabe/musulmán como incompetente, arcaico y no-democrático sirvió para construir un contraste con el yo occidental ideal, para finalmente justificar y reificar modelos de interacción tradicionales, manteniendo inalterado el conflicto intercultural y el resentimiento.

    Although nations in the Iberian realm of cultural influence have recently acquired institutional features of modernity, they have maintained specific views of collective mobilization regarding what it is assumed to be a reasonable representation, contact and interaction with Muslims. We compared data collected in 2001 – before 9/11 – from Brazilian and Spanish broadsheet headlines. Drawing upon intergroup relation’s psychosocial literature, we focused on the debate around the reporting of “Muslims in action” and “Muslims in interaction with westerners”. We concluded that the newspapers’ simplified representation of the Arab/Muslim as incompetent, archaic and undemocratic served to construct a contrast with an ideal western self, in order to ultimately justify and reify traditional models of interaction, maintaining unchanged intercultural conflict and resentment.
