- Dynamics of Social and Political Change in the Arab World
981,95 kr. A rich interdisciplinary study of the relationships between space, both physical and virtual, and social and political participationWhere do people meet, form relations of trust, and begin debating social and political issues? Where do social movements start? In this fascinating collection, scholars and activists from a wealth of disciplinary backgrounds, including sociology, anthropology, history, and political science, take a fresh look at these questions and the factors leading to political and social change in the Arab world from a spatial perspective. Based on original field work in Egypt, Kuwait, Morocco, and Palestine, Spaces of Participation connects and reconnects social, cultural, and political participation with urban space. It explores timely themes such as formal and informal spaces of participation, alternative spaces of cultural production, space reclamation, and cultural activism, and the reconfiguring of space through different types of contestation. It also covers a range of spaces that include sports clubs, arts centers, and sites of protest and resistance, as well as virtual spaces such as social media platforms, in the process of examining the relationships and tensions between physical and virtual space.Spaces of Participation underlines the temporal and transformative quality of participatory spaces and how they are shaped by their respective political contexts, highlighting different forms of access, control, and contestation.Contributors:Randa Aboubakr, Cairo University, EgyptHicham Ait-Mansour, Mohamed V University, Rabat, MoroccoFadma Aït Mous, University of Hassan II of Casablanca, MoroccoMouloud Amghar, Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech, MoroccoYazid Anani, Birzeit University, Ramallah, PalestineMai Ayyad, Cairo University, EgyptYouness Benmouro, Mohamed V University of Rabat, MoroccoYasmine Berriane, Centre Maurice Halbwachs, Paris, FranceMokhtar El Harras, Mohamed V University, Rabat, MoroccoUlrike Freitag, Freie Universität (Free University), Berlin, GermanySarah Jurkiewicz, Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin, GermanyMona Khalil, Cairo University, Cairo, EgyptAzzurra Sarnataro, University of Rome "La Sapienza," Rome, ItalyRenad Shqeirat, Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center, Ramallah, PalestineDorota Woroniecka-Krzyżanowska, German Historical Institute, Warsaw, Poland
