Since 2011, the art of the Arab uprisings has been the subject of
much scholarly and popular attention. Yet the role of artists,
writers and filmmakers themselves as social actors working under
extraordinary conditions has been relatively neglected. Drawing on
critical readings of Bourdieu's Field Theory, this book explores
the production of culture in Arab social spaces in `crisis'. In ten
case studies, contributors examine a wide range of countries and
conflicts, from Algeria to the Arab countries of the Gulf. They
discuss among other things the impact of Western public diplomacy
organisations on the arts scene in post-revolutionary Cairo and the
consequences of dwindling state support for literary production in
Yemen. Providing a valuable source of empirical data for
researchers, the book breaks new ground in adapting Bourdieu's
theory to the particularities of cultural production in the Middle
East and North Africa.
