The paper aims to understand how the Muslim people were represented by the Istoé magazine after the terrorist attacks in France, in January and November of 2015. For this, we used the notions of anchorage and objectification, understanding them as central parts of Serge Moscovici’s Social Representation Theory. When applying these concepts, we used as a theoretical tool image and textual analysis, thus comprehending how the representations presented in Brazilian magazines show other aspects of our own society and how these narratives problematize the practice of the press. We conclude that the two editions of the magazine represented three categories of Muslims: the successful, the victim and the terrorist - the last one embodied in the figure of the member of the Islamic State.
