Abstract

Diverse studies over the portrayal of women in memes have led to narratives and opposition against women, typically expressed by both feminists and anti-feminists. Despite numerous prior studies, the elaboration of Arabic memes remains significantly restricted. This study seeks to elucidate the image of contemporary Arab women as shown in memes. A qualitative descriptive study utilised memes from the prominent Arabic Instagram account @mzajeat.lady as the data source. Presupposition category analysis employing a cyberpragmatics approach was used to examine the representations of women within the pragmatic meanings of each meme. According to the presupposition types, contemporary Arab women are more physically and intellectually empowered, allowing them to break free from masculinity. Arab women may function without men due to psychological stability. Self-actualisation allows women to achieve their goals and pursue different activities. They are confident and can choose their marriages. The findings indicate a substantial transformation in the perception of contemporary Arab women. Meme, as conveyed on social media, represents liberation from the constraints of patriarchal culture that is often oppressive and confining. The findings significantly contribute to altering the preconceptions and stigmas historically associated with them. Furthermore, these findings advance the discourse of feminism on social media by introducing new and previously unexamined data on Arab memes.

Abstract

How a single media institution constructs divergent meanings for two linguistically distinct audiences constitutes a salient question in media studies, particularly where that institution operates at the intersection of Arab and international news. Al Jazeera's Arabic (AJA) and English (AJE) services have attracted considerable scholarly attention as paradigmatic instances of this phenomenon. Previous research has mostly approached both media through framing theory or critical discourse analysis, neglecting the pragmatic mechanisms that direct meaning for different readers. Jacob Mey's critical pragmatics, through its concept of the pragmatic act (pract), affords a more precise entry point into this gap. Employing this framework for comparative analysis, the study examines AJA and AJE coverage of the Iran-Israel-US conflict across five thematic events (February-June 2026). Twenty purposively sampled news articles were coded deductively using Mey's six pract categories: alluding, implying, hinting, voicing, quoting, and echoing. Both AJA and AJE rely most heavily on voicing and implying pract, but diverge in a distinctive secondary pract: AJA layers echoing pract onto this shared foundation, activating Arab collective memory and positioning readers within a solidarity-oriented frame, while AJE layers hinting pract, distributing epistemic authority through formally qualified attribution to cultivate critical consensus among a heterogeneous readership.
