Politics in the Middle East is now 'seen' and the image is playing
a central part in processes of political struggle. This is the
first book in the literature to engage directly with these changing
ways of communicating politics in the region - and particularly
with the politics of the image, its power as a political tool. Lina
Khatib presents a cross-country examination of emerging trends in
the use of visuals in political struggles in the Middle East, from
the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon to the Green Movement in Iran, to
the Arab Spring in Egypt, Syria and Libya. She demonstrates how
states, activists, artists and people 'on the street' are making
use of television, the social media and mobile phones, as well as
non-electronic forms, including posters, cartoons, billboards and
graffiti to convey and mediate political messages. She also draws
attention to politics as a visual performance by leaders and
citizens alike. With a particular focus on the visual dynamics of
the Arab Spring, and based on case studies on the visual dimension
of political protest as well as of political campaigning and image
management by political parties and political leaders, Image
Politics in the Middle East shows how visual expression is at the
heart of political struggle in the Middle East today. It is a
hard-hitting, enjoyable, groundbreaking book, challenging the
traditional ways in which politics in the Middle East is conceived
of and analysed.
