This book is the first comprehensive research conducted on the
pan-Arab TV station al-Mayadeen - an important representative of
the post-2011 generation of Arab satellite news media. Likewise, it
is an investigation of a growing political trend and ideological
discourse in the Arab world, which the book identifies as The New
Regressive Left. The book sheds light on overlooked parts of the
Arab population, which neither identified with the vision of the
young activists initiating the uprisings, nor with the ambition of
the growing Islamist tendency that followed. Rather it voices a
grouping of Shia Muslims, religious minorities, parts of the Arab
Left, secular cultural producers, and supports of the resistance
movements brought together by their shared fear of the future.
Drawing on a wide variety of programmes from the station's first
four years and on interviews with staff members, the book captures
how a TV station can play a role in the production of ideology
through e.g. its composition of programmes, collaborations, events,
iconization of cultural figures, choice of aesthetics, as well as
through its recycling of cultural heritage and already existing
ideological concepts. Overall, four ideological core concepts
emerges, namely: the support of the resistance, the rejection of
Sunni Islamism, the acceptance of authoritarianism, and the
challenging of neoliberalism. Taking seriously a media outlet such
as al-Mayadeen and the worldview driving an ideological discourse
such as The New Regressive Left seems more acute than ever if we
want to grasp the developments in a post-2011 Arab world.
