Whereas most studies of Islamism focus on politics and religious
ideology, this book analyses the ways in which Islamism in the Arab
world is defined, reflected, transmitted and contested in a variety
of creative and other cultural forms. It covers a range of contexts
of production and reception, from the early twentieth century to
the present, and with reference to cultural production in and/or
about Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, the Gulf, Lebanon
and Israel/Palestine. The material engaged with is produced in
Arabic, English and French and includes fiction, autobiography,
feature films, television series, television reportage, the press,
rap music and video games. Throughout, the book highlights the
multiple forms and contested interpretations of Islamism in the
Arab world, exploring trends and tensions in the ways Islamism is
represented to (primarily) Arab audiences and complicating
simplistic perspectives on this phenomenon. The book considers
repeated and idiosyncratic themes, modes of characterisation,
motifs, structures of feeling and forms of engagement, in the
context of an ongoing struggle for symbolic power in the region.
