  • The Arab As Spectacle: Race, Gender and Representation in Australian Popular Culture
    The Arab as Spectacle: Race, Gender and Representation in Australian Popular Culture Paula Abood School of English Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of New South Wales NSW, Australia A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 20th September 2007 Word Count: 101,616 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Abood First name: Paula Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: English Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: The Arab as Spectacle: Race, Gender and Representation In Australian Popular Culture Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis, The Arab as Spectacle, is about representation. It is about the limits and the contradictions of representation. It is about the burden and the violence of representation. It is about the persistence of Orientalism and how the hierarchies of race and gender intersect with discourses on sexuality to inform and inflect the representation of Arabs in contemporary literary and media spheres of Australian popular culture. This thesis comprises two sections. Part One is a research dissertation that explores the strategies, devices and parameters of the representation of Arabic culture and identities through close readings of specific texts. This theoretical project inaugurates the second part of my study which takes up the question of the contradictions of representation through a collection of ficto-critical writings. Through these satirical narratives, I seek to expose and disrupt the hegemony of Orientalist representations that proliferate in English language literature and news media by bringing into focus the inherent paradox of representation, working within and against Orientalist representational traditions.
