Al-Jazeera (Arabic) Satellite Television: A Platform for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt Mohammed-Ali M. A. Abunajela Ph.D 2015 UNIVERSITY OF BEDFORDSHIRE Al-Jazeera (Arabic) Satellite Television: A Platform for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt by: Mohammed-Ali M. A. Abunajela Ph.D A thesis submitted to the University of Bedfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2015 i ABSTRACT The Qatari-funded channel, Al-Jazeera Arabic (AJA) has been subject to criticism as being in favour of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Egypt. The approach taken by AJA Satellite Television to represent the MB, the Mubarak regime and other political actors in Egypt, during its coverage of four key electoral moments - before and after the 2011 ‘revolution’- is reviewed in this research. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is applied to study the constructive effects of AJA’s language in an interpretive way (Parker & Burman, 1993). The effect of the language used by two predominant AJA TV programmes, has been اﻻتجاه املعاكس and Opposite Direction بﻻ حدود Without Borders investigated and a number of current and former AJA journalists have been interviewed. Van Dijk’s Ideological Square and Pier Robinson’s Framing Model, in conjunction with Chouliaraki’s Three Rhetorical Strategies (Verbal Mode, Agency and Time Space) have been used as analysis tools to study the process of AJA’s representation of different political ideologies: the MB’s Islamic ideology and the Mubarak regime’s secular ideology. Van Dijk’s Ideological Square helps to identify the boundaries between ‘us’ (the good) and ‘them’ (the bad), and to classify people according to their support of specific ideology against another - the ‘in-group’ or the ‘out- group’. AJA positively framed the Islamic MB movement on the basis that the group and its members were democratic, Islamic and victims, whereas it negatively framed the Mubarak regime and the Military Council in Egypt as repressive, secular and villains. The assigned role of different actors (including; the Egyptian people and opposition parties) in AJA TV programmes changed from one electoral moment to another. While the ii Mubarak regime, its supporters and the Military Council were represented as the ‘out-group’ at all times, the role allocated to the Egyptian people and the opposition shifted between the ‘in-group’ and the ‘out-group’, depending on the political mood they held towards the MB. KEYWORDS Al-Jazeera (Arabic) Satellite television; Al-Sisi; authoritarian regime; Egypt; framing; ideology, military regime; Morsi; Mubarak; Muslim Brotherhood; political Islam; Qatari foreign policy; revolution; uprisings. iii STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORITY I have always thought of media, throughout my professional and academic experiences, as a powerful tool that can influence the very nature of someone’s identity, beliefs and thoughts. Philip Seib (2008) writes ‘the media can be tools of conflict and instruments of peace. They can make traditional borders irrelevant and unify people scattered across the globe.’ Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s minister of Nazi propaganda said: ‘Give me media with no conscience I will give you people who are unconscious’. The powerful influence of media has encouraged my desire to study this field in order to understand how it can impact the way we think, act and believe in order to determine what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong’. I also believe that the answer to either of these, is largely determined by someone’s social surroundings and understanding of it. I have always viewed AJA, since it was launched in 1996, as a channel of pride that belongs to Arabs. It has reshaped the very nature of mainstream Arab media services which have been government mouthpieces and under the control of Arab dictatorships, for a long time. Its daring approach and mixture of Arab journalists from almost every Arab nationality, has particularly attracted my attention. I often watch AJA and have always admired not only the fact it reports the news from around the world in a very innovative and attractive style, but also it has offered me a different perspective of what is happening in the Arab world in general, and Palestine in particular, my home country. It has placed the Palestine cause at the heart of its coverage. AJA’s daring approach, diverse and challenging questions to Arab dictators, and its ability to bring opposition voices to us (including Israeli official voices), have provided a different side of the story. iv I passionately watched AJA’s 24-hour live coverage of the uprisings in Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, and elsewhere when the Arab ‘revolutions’ broke out. In a way, I was watching history in the making through AJA, while sitting in my living room. When the Libyan uprising started in 2011, followed by Syria, however, criticism of AJA had increased with claims that the channel was aligned with Qatar’s foreign policies, and was becoming a platform for promoting Islamists, while ignoring secular and other groups. Questions were also raised about its coverage of Bahrain. The channel was seen as celebrating and arguably promoting the victory of the MB and equally challenging any opposing voices to the Islamic movement. The channel received wide disapproval after the fall of Morsi. Its offices were shut down, reporters were arrested and persecuted, and journalists were banned from entry. Ahmad Mansour, for example, AJA’s presenter and an Egyptian national, could not attend his brother’s funeral as he had been declared ‘wanted’ by the Egyptian authorities. All these factors made me ask what has changed? Has AJA’s language changed or is it people who have changed? Did AJA’s ‘revolutionary’ language change after the outbreak of the Arab uprisings or did people’s expectations change? I wanted to study AJA’s language, to dig deeper through academic research in order to understand what had happened to the channel that I had for so long respected, and indeed, loved. I do not try to make a value judgement for or against AJA, rather I wish to offer an explanation of how the channel covered the Egyptian MB in four different electoral moments before and after the fall of Mubarak in 2011, and discover whether the claims made about the channel’s alleged support towards the Muslim Brotherhood were sound. v Studying Egypt is important for me, not only due to its strategic and historic geo-political place in the Arab world, but also because it is located next to my homeland, Palestine – Egypt’s stability means stability for the Palestinian people as well. vi DEDICATION First of all, I would like to dedicate this paper to Almighty Allah, the Most Compassionate and the Most Merciful, for guiding me and giving me the strength to accomplish this research. Secondly, I would like to dedicate this research to my loving parents, (Seham and Mansour), who supported me throughout my day-to-day life and education with their endless encouragement and prayers. Thirdly, I would like also to dedicate this paper to my beloved wife, (Sawsan) and my two adorable children, (Haytham and Hamza), who have generously and patiently supported me during the course of my studies and endured my mental and physical absence. vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to sincerely thank my Director of Studies, Professor Noha Mellor, for her valuable guidance, support and endless encouragement, and Professor Ivor Gaber for his helpful comments and advice. My thanks also go to my charming family in Gaza, Palestine, (sisters: Fayqa; Nazek; Nehad, and brothers: Abdel-Raouf; Ahmad; Dr Mahmoud and Abdel-Aziz) for giving me their thoughts and powerful inspiration every time I doubted myself, and to my extended family and dear friends in Palestine, the U.K. and elsewhere, for their constant encouragement. I would like to thank Dr Imad Karam, Dr Nael Jebril, Dr Mohammed Alsousi, Dr Tareq Bakri, Dr Haider Al-Safi, Dr Qassem Kassab, Barbara Lohr, Abid Katib, Emad Moussa, Ibrahim Habib, Ihab Anbar, Mahmoud Shalatoni, Maher Kassab, Khalil Lubbad, Hussam Jahjoh, Nigel Gibson, Jaine Magpie, Ala’a Eid, Ahmad Joha, Salem Qudwa, Abdulla Ali, Ziad Mustafa, Osama Qaddoumi, Helen Deller, Paul Rasmussen, Tarik Kafala and Felicity Tessaro for their reassurance, humour, and support throughout my research.

  • 1396 the Platforms of Our Discontent (Social Media, Social Destruction)
    #1396 The Pla-orms of Our Discontent (Social Media, Social Destruc?on) JAY TOMLINSON - HOST, BEST OF THE LEFT: [00:00:00] Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of the Le; Podcast in which we shall learn about the role that social media plays in the radicalizaAon of discontented communiAes, and engage in the debate over content moderaAon and de-plaDorming of individuals. Clips today are from The Weeds, Newsbroke from AJ Plus, On the Media, Off-Kilter, a piece of a speech from Sasha Baron Cohen, Big Tech, Vox ConversaAons, the Medhi Hasan Show, and Your Undivided AVenAon. Why everyone hates Big Tech, with The Verge's Nilay Patel - The Weeds - Air Date 7-19-19 NILAY PATEL: [00:00:34] I think one thing everyone will agree on, just universally, is that these companies are not necessarily well-run. And even if they were perfectly run, the nature of wriAng and enforcing speech regulaAon is such that you're sAll gonna do a bad job. The United States has been trying to develop a free speech policy in our courts for 220+ years and we're preVy bad at it, but four guys at Facebook aren't going to do a good job up in 20 years. So there's that problem, where does the line cross from being a preVy funny joke to being overtly bigoted? It really depends on context. We all understand this. So it absolutely depends on the context. It depends on who you think you are speaking to, whether it's a group of your friends or whether suddenly TwiVer's algorithm grabs you and amplifies you to millions of people.

    THESIS POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE Submitted by Kristen Sweet-McFarling Department of Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2014 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Lynn Kwiatkowski Cindy Griffin Barbara Hawthorne Copyright by Kristen Sweet-McFarling 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE This thesis is a virtual ethnographic study of a polygamy website consisting of one chat room, several discussion boards, and polygamy related information and links. The findings of this research are based on the interactions and activities of women and men on the polygamy website. The research addressed the following questions: 1) what are individuals using the website for? 2) What are website members communicating about? 3) How are individuals using the website to search for polygamous relationships? 4) Are website members forming connections and meeting people offline through the use of the website? 5) Do members of the website perceive the Internet to be affecting the contemporary practice of polygamy in the U.S.? This research focused more on the desire to create a polygamous relationship rather than established polygamous marriages and kinship networks. This study found that since the naturalization of monogamous heterosexual marriage and the nuclear family has occurred in the U.S., due to a number of historical, social, cultural, political, and economic factors, the Internet can provide a means to denaturalize these concepts and provide a space for the expression and support of counter discourses of marriage, like polygamy.
