Evidence

Hall also argues that the preferred cultural framing of an issue acquires dominance through a process of repetition within a context where competing frames are silenced. He notes that “in order for one meaning to be regularly produced, it ha[s] to win a kind of credibility, legitimacy or taken-for-grantedness for itself.” Moreover, this takes place on a terrain where other constructions become “literally unthinkable or unsayable.” — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 265
