The January 2011 Egyptian uprising had dramatic, far-reaching effects on cultural production in Egypt. It sparked new developments and transformations in content and genre and laid open challenge to the powerful role traditionally played by the country's ministry of culture in the field of artistic expression. The eight chapters in Arts and the Uprising in Egypt offer a timely and much-needed survey of key realms of cultural production in Egypt since January 2011. They show how this explosion of cultural expression was of a piece with the change in people's relationship to power and authority that took place after the uprising and yet how this cultural resurgence had its roots in political struggles that predated 2011. Editors Samia Mehrez and Mona Abaza argue that a binary discourse of utopian success and failure is inadequate to the task of describing the paradoxes, complexities, and irreversible processes that are the true driving force of revolutionary change. The chapters in this book detail the main areas where cultures of dissent are forming-cultural policy, photography, education, film, satire, music, the visual arts, and literature-providing rich insight into the artists and initiatives that have played an integral role in the transformation of Egypt's public sphere since the fall of Mubarak. Arts and the Uprising in Egypt will be of interest to scholars of cultural production, revolution, and mass media in the Middle East, as well as art curators and critics, and music and cinema scholars.

Spanning Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor, this is a document of the volatile and fast-shifting political situation there. Since the start of the Arab revolution the Middle East has seen an unparalleled explosion of graffiti. * With contributions by experts in the fields of typography, graphic design, sociology and Egyptology These images of the revolution taken by acclaimed photographers and activistsvplaces the graffiti of the revolution in a broader context, and examines the historical, socio-political and cultural backgrounds which have shaped the movement.

The Egyptian Revolution that began on 25 January 2011 immediately gave rise to a wave of popular political and social expression in the form of graffiti and street art, phenomena that were almost unknown in the country under the old regime. Mia Gröndahl, a noted photographer, has followed and documented the constantly and rapidly changing graffiti art of the new Egypt from its beginnings, and here in more than 430 full-colour images celebrates the imagination, the skill, the humour and the political will of the young artists and activists who have claimed the walls of Cairo and other Egyptian cities as their canvas. Punctuated by interviews with some of the individual artists whose work has broken fresh ground.

As Egyptian society stands at a point of extreme polarization, this book about the Egyptian Revolution makes an important contribution to current debates about the Arab uprisings by bringing together theoretical and practitioner’s perspectives. The clear aim of this edited volume of the series Contemporary Studies on the MENA Region is not to construct a singular narrative about the revolution but rather to highlight the multiplicity and complexity of perspectives and theoretical lenses. Consequently, this book brings together authors from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, from the Middle East and the Global North, to raise their voices. This publication addresses scholars of the social sciences, peace and conflict research as well as anyone interested indeveloping a better understanding of the political situation in Egypt. “It is rather easy to say no to a dictator, a ruler or a political system, but it is exhausting to build a new society. This requires the constant effort of dedicated generations. [...] This book embraces not a master plan for a better future but it reflects from where this splendid young generation has to start anyway, the thorny challenges that are waiting for them on their path, the uncertainty of social or political reward.” – Professor DDr. Wolfgang Dietrich, Director, UNESCO Chair for Peace Studies, University of Innsbruck Adham Hamed is a Cairo-based peace and conflict researcher. In his work he focuses on transrational peace philosophy and elicitive conflict transformation as it has been developed at the Innsbruck School of Peace Studies.

This book examines the role of artists in Egypt during the 2011 revolution, when street art from graffiti to political murals became ubiquitous facets of revolutionary spaces. Through interviews, personal testimonies, and accounts of the lived experience of 25 street artists, the book explores the meaning of art in revolutionary political contexts, specifically by focusing on artistic production during 'liminal' moments as the events of the Egyptian revolution unfolded. The author privileges the perspective of the actors themselves to examine the ways that artists reacted to events and conceived of their art as means to further the goals of the revolution. Based on fieldwork conducted in the years since 2011, the book provides a narrative of Egyptian artists' participation in and representations of the revolution, from hopeful beginnings to the subsequent crackdown and election of al-Sisi.

Dignity, or karama in Arabic, is a nebulous concept that challenges us to reflect on issues such as identity, human rights, and faith. During the Arab uprisings of 2010 and 2011, Egyptians that participated in these uprisings frequently used the concept of dignity as a way to underscore their opposition to the Mubarak regime. Protesting against the indignity of the poverty, lack of freedom and social justice, the idea of karama gained salience in Egyptian cinema, popular literature, street art, music, social media and protest banners, slogans and literature. Based on interviews with participants in the 2011 protests and analysis of the art forms that emerged during protests, Zaynab El Bernoussi explores understandings of the concept of dignity, showing how protestors conceived of this concept in their organisation of protest and uprising, and their memories of karama in the aftermath of the protests, revisiting these claims in the years subsequent to the uprising.

After the Egyptian revolution - many documentaries, songs, movies and press releases were produced. As if that wasn't enough, the Egyptians went further to using a much more visual tool which combined talent and art together; they expressed their mixed emotions in an eye catching way, through drawings and paintings, graffiti on walls. It is hoped that this graffiti photo book, with its added commentaries, will enrich not only your eyes with the beauty of the colours and drawings, but also your mind with the depth of the messages and meanings behind them. The author and photographer, Rasha Saber, is a British - Egyptian, born and raised in Surbiton Surrey, England. She then moved to Egypt in 1992 with her family. Shortly after graduating from Law School, she worked part-time jobs before taking up a profession in teaching. She is inspired by children, society, justice and freedom - especially as they concern Egypt today. Although an experienced teacher, her other passions are writing and photography. She runs a blog www.hope11.wordpress.com as a freelance writer and editor. Rasha's articles have appeared in Egypt's Cilantro Magazine and on the website of the British Council in Egypt. She has also contributed some of her photos to Hany Ghoraba, journalist and author of 'Egypt's Arab Spring: The Long and Winding Road to Democracy'.

The contributors to this volume have selectively translated chants, banners, jokes, poems, and interviews, as well as presidential speeches and military communiqués. Their practical translation work is informed by the cultural turn in translation studies and the nuanced role of the translator as negotiator between texts and cultures. The chapters focus on the relationship between translation and semiotics, issues of fidelity and equivalence, creative transformation and rewriting, and the issue of target readership.--Publisher description.
