Sanctions as Siege
When one of us, Tamar Shirinian, joined the other, Lucia Sorbera, as coeditors of “Third Space” in June 2023, we started thinking of a thematic focus for this section of the journal. The effects of economic sanctions in the countries of the SWANA region (Southwest Asia and North Africa) came to mind as a theme that could allow for a broad interdisciplinary discussion and a necessary one. While scholarship on this issue emerged in the late 1990s a…
Cover Art Concept
This, Alma Sinai says of her work Witness, chosen for this issue’s cover, “is the first painting I did as an undergraduate student in 2010, while I was studying fine arts at RISD [Rhode Island School of Design]. A lot has changed since then, but also many things have stayed the same.”I corresponded with Sinai in the last days of September 2022, during the early days of the mass protests that shook Iran in the fall—revolts that, most likely, will …

Building on Linda Alcoff's work on memory, testimony and decolonizing epistemology, my analysis focusses on two intertwined issues: women's political representation and the public debate about sexual harassment. Data collected by Egyptian feminist organizations reveal that, after one century of women's politic…
Writing revolution
Challenges of thinking feminism and revolution in Egypt between 2011 and 2014
The approach to politics by ruling elites in Egypt has been consistently patriarchal. In this context, feminism stands as a resilient revolutionary force, which over the twentieth and the twenty first century contributes to the complex cultural process that Michael Hardt conceptualizes as ‘human revolution’. Building on this concept, and on the history of Egyptian feminism, this essay analyzes the 25th January Revolution as a challenge to the rem…
