Middle Eastern Diasporas and Political Communication:New Approaches
No full textThis edited book explores the development and reconfiguration of Middle Eastern diasporic communities in the West in the context of increased political turmoil, civil war, new authoritarianism, and severe constraints on media in the Middle East.Taking an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating political and intercultural communication, the contributors investigate the rationale for diasporic politics, as well as the role of the transnational media in shaping diasporic political mobilization. This analysis of the media, situated within specific case studies, encompassing Afghani, Armenian, Bahraini, Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian, Tunisian, and Turkish diasporic communities, reveals the variegated ways it influences diasporic politics and facilitates political action, as well as its influence on democratic actors residing in the Middle East. These new insights into Middle Eastern diasporas, political communication, and political mobilization are based on developments in the Middle East since 2011, and ultimately highlight how diaspora groups in the West relate to the situation in the Middle East, particularly in their countries of origin.The book is important reading for students and researchers working in political/intercultural communication and diasporic politics, as well as those with a general interest in the Middle East
Beirut from ‘October Revolution’ of 2019 to the 4th August Explosion in 2020:Transnational Solidarity, Social Media and Affective Communities
No full textThis chapter examines the online media communication of Lebanese musicians over the time span of a year, covering the start of the Lebanese revolution on October 17, 2019, through to October 2020, the aftermath of the devastating explosion in the port on August 4 of the same year. It argues that digital media communication platforms serve as carriers of a central affective dimension that intertwines the material, political, social and sonic worlds which enable a new form of politics of solidarity to emerge from the interplay between online–offline worlds. Digital media platforms are central in four main aspects. The chapter combines three main methodological tools. Fieldwork research (Beirut, November–December 2019) and digital ethnography (2020) combine two different types of ethnographic data, interviews and analysis of social media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, of individual musicians and artists (Youmna Saba, Fadi Tabbal etc.), grassroots organisations (Impact Lebanon, Beirut Musicians Fund etc.), and wider publics. Last, it relies on literature from the fields of ethnomusicology (Tsioulakis, 2020; O'Brian Bernini, 2017; Swedenburg, 1996, 2011), digital media and cultures (Moreno Almeida, 2017a, b; Papacharissi, 2010; Pink, 2016), and sociology and international politics (Bryant & Daniel, 2019; Bayat, 2013; Majeed, 2019a, 2020; Mouawad & Baumann, 2017) to provide an in-depth discussion of this sensitive topic
Diasporic political communication among Arabs in Europe: from online campaigning to friendship networks
No full textThis chapter is based on a collective research project run by four scholars at Copenhagen University. The focus of the work is on the political communication of Arab diasporic communities in Europe originating from Syria, Bahrain, Egypt, and Tunisia. The aim of this chapter is to theorize the aspects of political communication among the Arab diaspora. The empirical data were collected through interviews and observations in several European countries: the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and Turkey. The analysis has shown that political communication in the diaspora revolves around the interaction of the diaspora members on three levels: the country of origin, the country of residence, and international associations. Based on these three levels of interaction, this chapter has outlined five key aspects of political communication practiced by Arab diasporic communities in Europe: involvement in political parties, association establishment, online campaigning, friendship networks, and international activism
Mobilizing and mediatizing Middle Eastern Diasporas
No full textThe Arab uprisings in 2010—2011 have fostered new movements of immigrants from Middle Eastern countries to Europe and the US, leaving a region characterized by political instability, economic deterioration, civil war, and new authoritarianism. This introductory chapter presents the situation in the Middle East and the subsequent reconfiguration of Middle Eastern diasporas. Asking how these diasporas connect to, and interact with, their country of origin, the chapter outlines the concepts of political mobilization and diasporic media that together make the framework that guides all the contributions to this book
