The so-called Arab Spring challenged conventional wisdom and
certainties about the Arab world where its effects continue to be
felt as well as in the diaspora. This book provides an original
contribution to current social and cultural theory on Arab social
movements by giving a fuller historical and critical treatment of
contemporary artistic and cultural production from the region and
beyond. Thematically structured and covering culture, media,
politics, and literary studies, the book uses a range of
theoretical material that engages readers in three key ways. First,
it adopts a critical standpoint with respect to the term "Arab
Spring," recognizing the multiple interpretations and varied
geographical, historical, and political realities of the term.
Second, its focus on carefully selected case studies - namely,
Egypt, Tunis, Syria, and Yemen - adds depth to analysis of the
cultural, literary and artistic dimensions that operate fluidly
across the Arab world. Third, it presents a methodological case
study for the growing community of researchers involved in
interdisciplinary education. Together, the contributors to the book
show how the interplay of politics, culture, and media across
varied locations has and continues to shape emergent Arab social
forms and a region on the cusp of historical and cultural change.
