Source: "Arab Idol" website: http://www.mbc.net/ar/programs/arab-idol-s4.html On February 27, 2017, Palestinians in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the diaspora, as well as the Palestinian citizens of the State of Israel, sat captivated by the broadcast of the finale of the fourth season of the reality television show, "Arab Idol." Held in Beirut, the final round of the Arab Idol competition featured two Palestinian contestants, Yacoub Shahin of Bethlehem in the Palestinian Authority and Ameer Dandan from the Galilee town of Majd al-Krum in Israel, along with a third finalist from Yemen.1 1 The Israeli Hebrew press portrayed the Arab Idol finals as "a competition between an Israeli and a Palestinian," however Dandan was enlisted to the program and presented himself during 1 When Shahin was declared the winner, widely known as "Mahbub al-ʿArab" ("Darling of the Arabs/Beloved one of the Arabs"), it touched off a celebration in Bethlehem’s Manger Square. Thousands of the city's residents had gathered in the plaza outside of the Church of the Nativity, with Palestinian pennants in their hands and the distinct Palestinian symbol, the black and white checkered Palestinian kufiyya (headdress/scarf), on their shoulders. On the east side of Manger Square, the municipality had set-up a big screen for a public viewing of the show's finale.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

  • Khamis-Lina-Edward-Social-Media-And-Palestinian-Youth
    The Journal of Development Communication SOCIAL MEDIA AND PALESTINIAN YOUTH CULTURE: THE IMPACT OF NEW INFORMATION AND MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES ON CULTURAL AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN PALESTINE Lina Edward Khamis n the last decades Palestinians witnessed a failure to reactivate the peace Iprocess, coupled with the expansionist policies of the current Israeli government, the quest of a two-state solution, is fast disappearing. Barriers to development imposed by the continuing occupation and the separation wall. The consequences of the Palestinian condition as a stateless nation, and nonexistence were evidenced in the lack of communication among people, the distance from places of leisure, culture and social disintegration with all the limitations of life that are accompanied with it. The Palestinians had to invent and create an immediate solution to come alive and adapt to the current situation or else run the risk of engendering a well known form of social pathology. In a country were institutional forms of government are lacking; ‘popular culture has developed on social media platforms free from the governmental authority and power. Facebook provides a free space for self-expression, creativity, civic initiative, anti-politics and the freedom of communication with international society.’ Recent statistics indicate that Palestinian youth are one of the largest users of social media in the Arab World, mainly Facebook (PCBS, 2015). The onset of the use of social media heralded an interest, by scholars in re-defining the lynchpins of democracy in Palestine and the importance of social media in that equation. The effect of new media on emotional life, empathy, political participation, and social mobilisation had a major impact on these deliberations.

    REGIONALISM AND PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY Submitted to The Lethbridge Herald for publication by Reginald W. Bibby, Deparment of Sociology, The University of Lethbridge, January 17, 1977. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: R. W. BIBBY Reginald Bibby was born in Edmonton and received his B.A. from the University of Alberta, M.A. from the University of Calgary, and Ph.D. from Washington State University (1974). He taught at York University in Toronto for one year prior to coming to Lethbridge, where he is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology. Professor Bibby is the author of a number of journal articles and is presently writing a series of papers based on his recent major national survey, "Project Canada: A Study of Deviance, Diversity, and Devotion in Canada." His current interests include Canadian Society and the Sociology of Sport. c c 1 "The best way you can help the manufacturers of Canada is to fill up the prairie regions of Manitoba and the Northwest with a prosperous and contented people who will be consumers of the manufactured goods of the east." -W.S. Fielding, Canadian Minister of Finance, turn of the century In a very real sense, eastern Canadians continue to have a colonial attitude towards the west. They assume, for example, that the most successful people in a wide variety of occupations will sooner or later gravitate to Ontario or Montreal. Thus the journalist, the broadcaster, the executive, the doctor, the lawyer, and the professor who lusts after success feels the nagging pressure to sooner or later abandon the boonies of the west and show one's peers that she or he can cut it in the heavy traffic of the eastern big-time.

  • Newsletter 01/2013 (July)
    Newsletter 01/2013 (July) Bab Al Shams in Ezarriya Town Lands (Maale Adomim), settlement in the background, March 20, 2013/ Photo by Fadi Arouri. Dear friends of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, We are happy to present the third edition of our newsletter informing you about our work during the first half of 2013. The year started with a protest village in an area designated for new Israeli settlements. The village in the “E1 corridor” was called Bab al-Shams and created worldwide attention. This was a new step on the path of unarmed civil resistance. In April, HBS brought young activists from the West Bank to talk about their struggle to Berlin. Find more about this topic in the newsletter. Meanwhile, Salam Fayyad stepped down as Prime Minister, Palestinian reconciliation failed as well as US efforts to revive negotiations. In the second half of the year, an anniversary will be commemorated by Palestinians and Israelis with little enthusiasm: 20 years of Oslo. HBS will provide room for discussion of Palestinian perspectives on a “Peace Process” which produced lots of process, but no peace. Recently, much more attention was devoted to Muhammed Assaf wining Arab Idol, every Friday and Saturday for the past months the Westbank and Gaza were watching a new Palestinian symbol of unity emerge. If you read German, you can read our new HBS blog (called Heinrich of Arabia, an ironic reference to Lawrence) on this and other topics, with contributions from HBS offices across the region. As always, we thank you for your interest and encourage you to keep in touch with us and visit our office.
