In times of increasing mediatization and digitalization media play
an important role in political and societal transformation
processes. The authors of this volume take an actor-centered
perspective to shed light on current cases in Arab and Asian
countries. They inquire into the ways processes of networking and
mobilization evolve in the context of restricted media systems and
state-dominated public spheres. It features original research about
various social and political actors such as women's rights
activists, public intellectuals, anarchists and Islamists.
Anna Antonakis' analysis of the Tunisian transformation process
(2011-2014) displays how negotiations of gender initiating new
political orders do not only happen in legal and political
institutions but also in media representations and on a daily basis
in the family and public space. While conventionalized as a "model
for the region", this book outlines how the Tunisian transformation
missed to address social inequalities and local marginalization as
much as substantial challenges of a secular but conservative gender
order inscribed in a Western hegemonic concept of modernity. She
introduces the concept of "dissembled secularism" to explain major
conflict lines in the public sphere and the exploitation of gender
politics in a context of post-colonial dependencies.
