La Nahḍa come tradizione radicale: Salāma Mūsā e la nascita del socialismo in Egitto
No full textIn this article I will present part of the ‘socialist’ works by Egyptian Coptic intellectual Salāma Mūsā (1887-1958), whose personal and political trajectory is arguably exemplary. Indeed, Mūsā’s work lies at the intersection of multiple debates of the early 20th century: the Egyptian national debate, the pan-Arab and the global radical one. In particular, the article will look at Mūsā's role in the blooming debate on Socialism in Egypt and in the Arab East in the 1910s, as well as at his part in the establishment of the Egyptian Socialist Party in the early 1920s

Prelude to the revolution. Independent civic activists in Mubarak’s Egypt and the quest for hegemony
No full textThis article explores whether, in the decade preceding the 2011 uprising, Egypt’s Independent Civic Activists (ICAs) can be considered organic intellectuals in terms of Antonio Gramsci’s well-known definition. To do so, three aspects of ‘organicity’ with respect to subaltern groups are identified: a ‘demographic’ dimension, namely their embeddedness within subaltern groups; an ‘ideological’ dimension pertaining to their ability to correctly identify the problems affecting subaltern classes; and a ‘cognitive’ dimension, i.e. whether ICAs had managed to gain at least partial recognition from subaltern groups as providing political leadership. During the pre-2011 period, ICAs can be shown to be partly–but not fully–‘organic’ intellectuals with respect to Egypt’s subaltern groups. Examining ICAs’ evolving mobilisation, it is also possible to both discern the embryonic emergence of a counter-hegemonic project well before 2011, and by contrast the substantial continuity between the regime and the Ikhwan. Finally, the article notes that the Egyptian regime under Husni Mubarak appeared unable or unwilling to address the root causes of dissatisfaction through anything other than palliative measures, leaving it not so much stable as fierce and brittle, vulnerable in precisely the same ways ICAs capitalised on in the run-up to the ‘January 25th Revolution’
