    Self-Orientalism in Arab Pop Music | norient.com 6 Oct 2021 19:13:25 Self-Orientalism in Arab Pop Music COMMENTARY by Nermin Abbassi When Saad Lamjarred’s hit song «Lm3allem» topped the charts with more than eight hundred million views and became one of the most famous Arab songs worldwide, reinterpreted in English, Hindi, and Korean, little attention was given to the self-Orientalist imageries that were propagated by this song. If anything, argues political scientist Nermin Abbassi, this music video is another invitation to further endorse the global trend of Orientalist consumerism in the audio-visual field. Here is a small experiment one should do when discussing self-Orientalism in Arab pop music: watch Katy Perry’s music video «Dark Horse» without focusing on the lyrics or who the singer is and apply the same process to Myriam Fares’ song «Aman» or better yet, Saad Lamjarred’s songs «Ghaltana» or «Lm3allem». Will you be able to tell the backgrounds of these artists apart or even spot major differences? The Reinvigoration of the Oriental The answer is probably no. These music videos share analogous postmodernist décor glued to ahistorical Orientalist imageries of exotified objects, women, and essentialist cultural representations; though one should state that Arab artists do add an extra creative layer to it. https://norient.com/nermin-abbassi/self-orientalism-arab-pop-music Page 1 of 4 Self-Orientalism in Arab Pop Music | norient.com 6 Oct 2021 19:13:25 Myriam Fares’ song «Aman» features a 500-year old poetry verse mixed with electronic music, in a video themed around an «exotic Oriental woman» in different belly dancers’ costumes, with mystical digital effects of a turning Sufi dervish.

    “ Here come the IRISH“ NEW JERSEY’S LEADERS 2019 MAKE OUR STATE A BETTER PLACE! HERE COME THE IR ISH ! New Jersey’s Leaders 2019 St. Patrick’s Day is once again upon us with its month long festivities. To help celebrate the occasion, InsiderNJ.com presents its annual and profiled list of New Jersey’s Irish American leaders and activists as a salute to the holiday and as a harbinger of long awaited springtime. The annual tribute to the ‘Irish High Holy Days’ is an acknowledgement of accomplishments, numerous contributions and community service. Once again, the list includes both veterans of previous compilations and quite a few newcomers, as well. Collectively, they have all demonstrated a commitment to their Irish American heritage. The updated list is compiled to commemorate the 84th Anniversary of the Newark St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the oldest Irish American march in New Jersey (1936-present), interrupted only by WWII (1943-46). This year’s Irish march in downtown Newark is scheduled for Friday, March 15 at 1:00pm. Grand Marshal Sean O’Neill and Deputy Grand Marshal Kathleen M. Conlon have been elected by delegates to lead the parade. The 2019 Newark Parade is dedicated to Thomas J. Gartland (1939-2018) Tom Barrett, compiler of the list, credits the Newark parade for its sense of tradition and staying power. His father, Thomas P. J. Barrett, a journalist and World War II veteran, was a three-time parade chairman. The list is purely subjective. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY IT! WILLIAM (BILL) BARONI JOSEPH P. BRENNAN, ESQ.
