News Coverage of the Arab Spring: State-Run News Agencies as Discursive Propagators of News
We explore the official state news agencies’ digital platforms of 10 Arab countries depict the “Arab Spring.” We argue that these agencies serve as “discursive propagators” because their outreach is widespread throughout the media ecosystem and are regarded as one of the only official sources of news on the protest movements in these respective countries. This article makes two main original contributions to the field of digital journalism. First…
Introduction Emancipation and Representation
Media, identity, and online communities in a changing Arab world
Our Special Issue captures the interplay of media, politics, religion, and culture in shaping Arabs’ search for more stable governing models at crossroads of global, regional, and national challenges through systematic and integrated analyses of evolving and contested Arab visual and performing arts, including media (traditional and alternative), in revolutionary and unstable public spheres. This special issue examines the role of new media in th…
Egyptian Youth's Digital Dissent
Young people were at the forefront of the millions-strong 2011 uprising against the corrupt and authoritarian rule of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. Eight years since this uprising, many of these young people find themselves besieged, disengaged, and disgruntled amid a resurgence of militarized authoritarianism. This article examines the state of Egypt's youth and argues that through the dynamics of dissociation, disenchantment, and desecration, these y…

The recent protests and revolutionary movements in the Middle East, which commenced in late 2010, constitute a cataclysm not only in the way we understand the relation between states and publics in each respective country, but also in the manner the region is taught. Significantly, Arab media studies has emerged as a vital and extremely functional subject of immediate relevance to the studies of Middle East politics. The explosion of media worldw…
Arab Cultural Studies – Thinking Aloud: Theorizing and Planning for the Future of a Discipline
AV: In putting together this volume on Arab cultural studies, I have had to be sensitive to the discursively loaded term “culture”. What would you say are the areas most in need of critical attenti
Edward Said: A Legacy of Emancipation and Representation
Edward W. Said (1935–2003) ranks as one of the most preeminent public intellectuals of our time. Through his literary criticism, his advocacy for the Palestinian cause, and his groundbreaking book Orientalism, Said elegantly enriched public discourse by unsettling the status quo. This indispensable volume, the most comprehensive and wide-ranging resource on Edward Said’s life and work, spans his broad legacy both within and beyond the academy. Th…
Lines in the Sand: Problematizing Arab Media in the Post-Taxonomic Era
The 18th century Swedish botanist and zoologist, Carolus Linnaeus is often credited with being the father of taxonomy in contemporary science. His manuals-turned-encyclopedia of classification, Systema Naturae, is still regarded as the most comprehensive attempt at systematically cataloguing living things in nature according to the rules of binomial categorization. Perhaps Linnaeus’ greatest legacy though is a categorical and systematic way by wh…
