תקציר	Critical content analysis is a qualitative approach that examines texts, media, and documents not merely for manifest meaning but for how they construct, reinforce, or contest relations of power, ideology, race, gender, and class. Grounded in critical theory traditions, it asks whose interests a text serves, what voices are silenced, and how language and representation naturalise dominant worldviews. It combines systematic analytic rigour with an explicitly emancipatory or transformative research stance.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
