Victoria Welby’s semiotics, significs and gender: Through a modernist lens
While there is an established body of scholarship discussing Victoria Welby’s contribution to semiotics, her philosophical ideas engage with many of the intellectual currents that would later define the modernist movement. Exploring Welby’s extensive articles, letters, speeches, and monographs – through a genealogical framework and modernist lens – conveys Welby’s semiotic portrait of language and gender as both building upon and extending the cl…

Coming-of-Age of Teenage Female Arab Gothic Fiction: A Feminist Semiotic Study
This feminist semiotic study explores the folkloric imaginary of the jinn in the context of children’s and young adults’ Arab Gothic literature. Across the Middle East, the jinn is a common trope in literature, folklore and oral storytelling who, in diegetic terms, can manifest as the Gothic figure of an aging female, deranged older woman or succubus (known as sa’lawwa in Arabic). In this study, a novel feminist semiotic framework is developed to…
Social Media Influencing in The City of Likes: Dubai and the Postdigital Condition
Providing a much-needed de-Westernising perspectives of Dubai’s social media influencing industry within the broader context of global platform capitalism, Zoe Hurley offers an important contribution to the field of social media through illustrating visible economies in a city circuited by social media influencing
Dubailiving and Digital Placemaking on TikTok: Migrant, Domestic, and Service Workers' Affective Social Mediascapes
While Dubai, the small emirate in the United Arab Emirates, tends to be associated with luxurious social media images of elite social actors, startling architecture, and consumer status symbols, this study addresses migrant, domestic, and service workers' everyday digital placemaking. To explore these issues, a global semiotic framework reorientates traditional notions of the geopolitical context in terms of Dubai's social mediascape. TikTok is t…
Middle Eastern women influencers’ interdependent/independent subjectification on Tiktok: Feminist postdigital transnational inquiry
Subjectification has been defined as the formation of the subject via discourses while social media bundles audio-visual discourses that afford subjectification. However, what is meant by the ‘subject’ is not neutral and subjectification can differ according to cultural context. This study takes Middle Eastern women influencers’ subjectification on TikTok as a case to illustrate postdigital transnational subjectification. The novel framework of f…
Covid Casablanca’: A case of Dubai’s British social media influencers and postdigital intermedia geographies
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, British social media influencers posted pictures and stories from Dubai. As a result, the emirate faced an intense backlash from the British media. This study considers the British media’s motivations for constituting Dubai as Orientalist ‘other’ while uncovering earlier imagined geographies of the Orient. The study develops the novel concept of ‘intermedia geographies’ to trace intertextual links, tales, tex…

Transnational Visual Inquiry: Arab Women’s Interdependent/Independent Moves on Tiktok and Instagram
This study addresses the complex matrix of gendered visual interdependence/ independence of Arab women social media influencers, defined as micro-celebrities generating digital incomes. It takes Instagram and TikTok, image and video sharing platforms, as a case to illustrate examples of Arab women’s curated visual identities. The study synthesises feminist transnationalism and visual inquiry. Transnationalism refers not only to the movement and e…
Signs of #self: A Peircean semiotic framework for theorizing self-(re)presentations on Instagram
Performances of self on social media are mediated via platform interfaces and social rituals while dramaturgical or theatrical perspectives of frontstage/backstage identity are frequently drawn upon in scholarship. However, emphasis on face and self-portraiture tends to background other forms of representation exhibiting objects, places and the various people that could be viewed as facets of the extended or disembodied self. In this article, Ins…
Arab women’s veiled affordances on Instagram: A feminist semiotic inquiry
Feminist semiotics is developed to explore Arab women’s self-presentations on Instagram. The novel framework enables interpretive theorising of a corpus Instagram posts by Arab women in the Middle East and North African region (MENA). Qualitative analysis zooms in on the accounts of four Arab women influencers, defined as microcelebrities monetising content online. Self-presentations are theorised as a process of semiosis, which involves signs, o…

Reimagining Arab Women's Social Media Empowerment and the Postdigital Condition
Social media intersects across physical spaces, digital infrastructures, and social subjectivities in terms of what is being called the 'postdigital,' in an increasingly merging offline/online world. But what precisely does it mean to be 'postdigital' if you are an Arab woman or social actor in the Global South? How does access to social networking sites, while increasing visibilities, also provide potential for increased agency? This study is co…

Philosophy of education in a new key: Who remembers Greta Thunberg? Education and environment after the coronavirus
This paper explores relationships between environment and education after the Covid-19 pandemic through the lens of philosophy of education in a new key developed by Michael Peters and the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA). The paper is collectively written by 15 authors who responded to the question: Who remembers Greta Thunberg? Their answers are classified into four main themes and corresponding sections. The first section,…
Why I No Longer Believe Social Media Is Cool
Web 2.0. seemingly offered empowering opportunities for women globally. While #hashtags gained momentum, liberating women to speak-out against sexual oppression, forging networks for the right to learn to drive, to bridge the gender pay gaps, and to close digital divide, the era of the posthuman, postdigital, and postgender seemed to be just around the corner. A key aspect of this apparent empowerment has been the visual scope of social media tha…
Imagined Affordances of Instagram and the Fantastical Authenticity of Female Gulf-Arab Social Media Influencers
This study explores the image sharing site Instagram to reveal how affordances, or uses of the platform, occur within a nexus of technological architecture, sociocultural contexts, and globalized commercial practices. It suggests social actors draw upon Instagram's affordances at material, conceptual, and imaginary levels while using social media. This triadic model for theorizing affordances of Instagram responds to the need for mapping ontologi…
