    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.

    Press release. Embargoed until Tuesday 18th November 11am. Next Green Car announces winners of Awards 2014 Next Green Car, the UK’s no. 1 green car website, today announces the winners of the Next Green Car Awards 2014, highlighting this year’s best green cars to come onto the market.

The eleven winners are selected from shortlists of thirty-six of the UK’s greenest new cars of 2014, all selected for their environmental Next Green Car Rating (NGC Rating), level of innovation, value, drive experience and design. As noted by Dr. Ben Lane, Managing Editor of Next Green Car “The 2014 winners reflect three key green car developments: the electrification of the drive-train (including fully electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids), the continuing improvements in fuel efficiency (for all fuels), and the realisation that petrols may have the environmental edge over diesels for urban use. “While all the winners and commended entries are highly innovative in the power-train technologies they employ, they also share the objective of wanting to improve the driver experience.

  • Movements in Albania an Analysis on Citizens' Political Perception and Movements Capacities to Trigger Change
    SOCIAL (CIVIC) MOVEMENTS IN ALBANIA AN ANALYSIS ON CITIZENS' POLITICAL PERCEPTION AND MOVEMENTS CAPACITIES TO TRIGGER CHANGE 1 SOCIAL (CIVIC) MOVEMENTS IN ALBANIA AN ANALYSIS ON CITIZENS' PERCEPTION AND MOVEMENTS CAPACITIES TO TRIGGER CHANGE SOCIAL (CIVIC) MOVEMENTS IN ALBANIA AN ANALYSIS ON CITIZENS' PERCEPTION AND MOVEMENTS CAPACITIES TO TRIGGER CHANGE Author: Center for Economic and Social Studies (CESS) The author produced this report for the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. The views and opinions expressed in this report are that of the authors and do not reflect those of the Government of the United Kingdom or the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. Tirana, November 2020 FOREWORD This publication deals with a historic overview of the civic movements in Albania after ‘90s, provides a summary of movements in other countries, and dwells into the current landscape of these movements by more specifically analyzing only six of the current movements. The aim has been to look into their capacities, membership, activity level and to assess whether there is a possibility for them to mobilize support and trigger change into the democratization process in Albania. An important part of this report was to survey and measure citizen’s perception of accepting and following these movements. To note here is the fact that the current pre-election phase is a very dynamic one with various developments such as the emerging of new movements and/or political parties or ceasing of other ones. On one side, the public faith in politics and political structures has been eroded in the last years, and on the other side, the citizen’s activism has been fragmented in the best case.
