How Afghans Define Themselves in Relation to Islam
Is Informationalization Good for the Middle East
Nearly all studies and most opinion about new media and information technologies in the Middle East have held that they are a boon in an environment of information-averse regimes, state-controlled media, and limited communications. New media, in this reckoning, open communications to new voices, foster an expanded public sphere,[1] break the molds of old patterns not only of communication but also of thought,[2] or modify media ecologies[3]—all o…
Pensée 4: Striking New State–Society Bargains over the Internet
Not long ago a MESA Bulletin reader objected to introducing coverage of the Internet, saying that there were few Middle East studies online. However, you do find Middle Easterners. With increasingly accessible technology, there are thousands of websites that are added to listservs and now supplemented by blogs from, by, and about Middle Easterners. The trend has been from witness to participant. Yet the subjective register of the Internet in Midd…

New Media, New Publics: Reconfiguring the Public Sphere of Islam
FOR well over a generation, the public sphere of Islam has been an arena of contest in which activists and militants brought forth challenges to traditional interpretative practices and authority to speak for Islam, especially to articulate its social interests and political agendas. Patrick Gaffney (1994) has astutely noted that their claims draw on social and political experience as alternatives both to expertise in textual hermeneutics associa…

On the Social Order of Cyberspace: Knowledge Workers and New Creoles
Representations of cyberspace as a new social and world order fostered by a new technology replay familiar understandings of industrial society and its issues of liberation and constraint. A more comprehensive approach to the social organization of advanced information technologies needs to include their origins in the social and communicative practices as well as in the technology of science and engineering and the practical Creolization of migr…
Middle East Studies On-Line
Materials of Middle East studies and not just for Middle East studies are increasingly appearing on-line. The ‘Net (Internet) that brought file archives, newsgroups and mailing lists devoted to regional issues and material has become a publishing medium in the Web (World Wide Web) with more and more of the output of Middle East studies themselves. The Bulletin now has a site, or “homepage,” on the World Wide Web at http://www.cua.edu/www/mesabul …

Sentimental Ambivalence and the Exegesis of "Self" in Afghanistan
Ambivalent identifications are widely noted in ethnographic literature on the Middle East and are often attributed to fragile, insecure institutions. Data from Afghanistan suggest that ambivalent sentiments articulate a sensibility of the self' in a discourse which provides a central critical commentary of high seriousness on, rather than a reflection of experience and that its conventionalized forms are more significant as deconstructions than a…
