Sumario:The tensions between the Western Christian and Islamic Eastern cultures started by the 09/11 terrorist attacks, can be highly expressed by media images. The aim of this article is to identify forms of expression, uses and strategies of cultural restatements and symbolic destructions in a context of social visibility enhanced by the media. This paper is based on the theoretical approach of the semiotics of Ivan Bystrina as well as on the works of Jean Baudrillard and Bruno Latour.
