A special issue of the Journal of Middle East Women's Studies This
issue provides an area-studies perspective on intimacy and explores
the analytic, theoretical, and political work that intimacy
promises as a concept. The contributors explore how multiple
domains and forms of intimacies are defined and transformed across
the cultural and social worlds of the Middle East, looking in
particular at Egypt, Turkey, and Israel. Focusing on everyday
constructions of intimacies, the contributors engage with questions
about how we should calibrate the evolving nature of intimacy in
times of rapid transition, what intimacy means for individual and
social lives, and what social, political, and economic
possibilities it creates. Topics include physical exercise, Turkish
beauty salons, transnational surrogacy arrangements, gender
reassignment, and coffee shops as intimate spaces for men outside
the family. Article Contributors: Aymon Kreil, Claudia Liebelt,
