So-called firsts scored by the Moroccan 'Muslim, Arab, African, post-colonial' and Amazigh Atlas Lions at the 2022 World Cup football games
Much has been claimed with pride about Morocco's advance onto the semi-finals of the World Cup as the so-called first 'Muslim,' 'African,' and 'Arab' state to have achieved such status, as well as from a post-colonial and anti-colonial perspective, given the symbolism of its beating Spain. Even more could have been said if Morocco also beat France, from whom it gained independence. Yet, amid all these claims to firsts, there are errors and oversi…
Why Peace Between Morocco and Israel Matters for Western Sahara but not for the Israel-Palestinian Conflict
Experiencing the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Over the last eighty years there has been a global rise in 'peace communication' practice, the use of interpersonal and mass communication interventions to mediate between peoples engaged in political conflict. In this study, Yael Warshel assesses Israeli and Palestinian versions of Sesame Street, which targeted negative inter-group attitudes and stereotypes. Merging communication, peace and conflict studies, social psychology, anthropology, poli…
Conducting conflict zones media studies research while being a woman
While scholarship exists about journalistic coverage of and by women in conflict, less attention has been paid to women’s scholarship of conflict. That speaks to a larger gap in communication and m
Problematizing the variable of conflict to address children, media, and conflict
It is children who are most affected by political conflict. Efforts to establish global peace, equality, justice, and security should, therefore, consider best approaches for aiding and empowering children. To increase relevance of media to these approaches, I review a nascent literature concerning children, media, and conflict that emphasizes analyses of effects on or reception by children of non-fiction violence, or news. This literature was cr…
It’s All about Tom And Jerry, Amr Khaled and Iqra, Not Hamas’s Mickey Mouse
Interest in the effect of martyrdom television programming on Palestinian children’s culture culminated in 2007, after Hamas’s Al-Aqsa television station tried to promote its political platform with the aid of a Mickey Mouse look-alike character in The Pioneers of Tomorrow . Critics of this television program assumed that martyrdom programs must have a major impact on Palestinian children. Although this assertion may seem reasonable, it is not su…
Political alienation in Libya
Political alienation in Libya: assessing citizens' political attitude and behaviour, by Mabroka al-Werfalli, Reading, UK: Ithaca Press, 2011, 240 pp., £60.00 (hardback), IBSN 978-0-86372-372-8 In P
Broadening the discourse about martyrdom television programming
Martyrdom programs encourage the use of violence such as suicide bombings to manage situations of political conflict, and make claims to religion as a justification for adopting such strategies. International interest in and critique of such television programs culminated in 2007 when Hamas-owned al-Aqsa Television featured a Mickey Mouse lookalike character named Farfour in its children’s program, Pioneers of Tomorrow. Implicit in the attention …
