Opis

This book addresses the roles of various media in the shaping and active contestation of particular conflicts and political agendas in the Arab world. Interdisciplinary contributions examine the sociopolitical dynamics generated in and through media, with perspectives emerging from media studies, anthropology, religious studies, and political science. This book explores both new media and older media forms and formats including the press, satellite television, Facebook, Web 2.0 technology, posters, and music videos. Topics range across the politics of popular culture, women scholars' religious fatwas, the Palestinian visual public sphere, Hezbollah's media policy, women's presence on Arab satellite television, and the uses of Facebook in the Tunisian revolution. Contributors include such well-known scholars as Charles Hirschkind, Marwan Kraidy, Amahl Bishara, and Olfa Lamloum.

Recenzje

"It undertakes the task of mapping some of the significant changes, challenges, and tensions which have been constantly at play in the ever-evolving field of Arab media over the last decade, both shaping and reflecting its dynamics. ... a recommended reading for anyone who is interested in better understanding the sociopolitical dynamics of change in the volatile Arab media landscape, and the multiple forces which are both molding and mirroring its current transformations and charting its uncertain future directions." (Sahar Khamis, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Vol. 94 (3), September, 2017)
