There is no doubt that Egypt’s hosting of this major sporting event has im- portant implications for Egypt, its people and the world. This is the largest global sporting event ever held anywhere in the world since the covid-19 pandemic, a year ago.

  • Reality TV Shows in the Arab World: Star Academy Impacts on Arab Teenagers
    International J. Soc. Sci. & Education 2015 Vol.5 Issue 3, ISSN: 2223-4934 E and 2227-393X Print Reality TV Shows in the Arab World: Star Academy Impacts on Arab Teenagers 1Georges Farha, 2Bassam Hamdar, 1Lilian Karam, 2Hussin J. Hejase 1Department of Communication Arts, Faculty of Arts and Sciences 2Faculty of Business and Economics American University of Science and Technology, Beirut-Lebanon. Abstract Reality T.V programs are now invading the Arab world and are attracting viewers of all ages, most specifically Arab teenagers. Being live programs taken from real life situations, Reality TV shows feature and monitor the emotions and behaviors of those who are usually involved for the purpose of winning a prize. However, the question to be asked is to what extent such programs are affecting teenagers, being the most susceptible audience. This paper has many objectives including: assessing the authenticity of the television programs; probing the extent the image reflected by talent-contestant shows, namely Star Academy, is affecting teenagers’ life; and, assessing what major role Star Academy plays in motivating and influencing the teenage audience. This research is exploratory and uses a quantitative approach; it relies on the use of a survey questionnaire addressed to a convenient sample of 300 teenagers. Findings are to help educators and policy makers to plan for mediations to reduce the negative influences of such programs, and to capitalize on the opportunities that result from free-will decisions. Keywords: Lebanon, Reality TV, Star Academy, talent contestant shows, teenagers, cultural impact 1. Introduction The mid1990s saw the start of a new era of television programs, whose purpose is to capture fascinating images of real people by filming their lives in front of cameras.

Anne Grüne bietet einen umfangreichen Vergleich deutscher und arabischer Varianten glo- baler Unterhaltungsshows, einschließlich ihrer Produktion und Rezeption. Die syste- matische Analyse bietet neue Perspektiven auf das Theorem der »Glokalisierung«, indem gezeigt werden kann, dass zwar die globale Beachtung gleicher medialer Kon- zepte zur synchronen Modernisierung von Sehgewohnheiten führt, dabei jedoch die lokalen Diskursmuster erhalten bleiben. Unterhaltung ist also nur auf den ersten Blick global. Obwohl die »formatierte Weltkultur« kulturelle Anschlussfähigkeit erzeugt, verharrt die Weltgesellschaft in lokalen Selbstgesprächen.

However, in-film placement has started to gain much traction in recent decades due to technological advances, such as the internet, Digital Video Recorders, and over-the-top providers that have been lessening the impact of traditional marketing. Product placement expenses in the American media have risen from $190 million in 1974 to around $3.5 billion in 2004 (Lehu, 2007). The practice is also existent in major regional film centers such as Bollywood, Korea, and Egypt. This study examined the in-film placement trends in Hollywood and Egypt through a quantitative content analysis of the top earning films between 2010 and 2013.

  • Raps of Consciousness: Articulating Women’S Rights Through Hip Hop in the Middle East and North Africa Region
    (W)RAPS OF CONSCIOUSNESS: ARTICULATING WOMEN’S RIGHTS THROUGH HIP HOP IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA REGION BY ANGELA SELENA WILLIAMS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Policy Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Cameron McCarthy, Chair Associate Professor Ruth Nicole Brown Professor Pradeep Dhillon Professor William Trent ABSTRACT Although hip hop culture has widely been acknowledged as a global cultural movement, little attention has been given to women’s participation in various parts of the world and how this participation interacts with and impacts the lives of other women. In this dissertation, I use the lenses of postcolonial aesthetics (McCarthy and Dimitriadi, 2000; Dhillon, 2014), U.S. third world feminist studies (Sandoval, 1991; Spivak, 1985; Mansour, 2016) and hip hop feminist studies (Morgan, 1999; Pough, 2004; Brown, 2013; Durham, 2013) to examine the diverse lived experiences of girls and women in the Middle East and North Africa region through the work of seven female rappers: Shadia Mansour (Palestine), Malikah (Lebanon), Soutlana (Morocco), Soska (Egypt), Myam Mahmoud (Egypt), Amani (Yemen), and Justina (Iran). Representations of girlhood and womanhood are received and interpreted by women from these countries residing in a Midwestern university town in the U.S. through interviews and discussions as the women reflect on what the messages from the artists mean in their own lives. Through discourse ethnography (Morley, 1999; Baéz, 2007; Durham, 2013), I analyze popular culture texts, including online songs, videos, lyrics, commentary and media coverage, created by and dedicated to MENA women rappers.

A sociolinguistic profile of English in Lebanon FATIMA ESSEILI* ABSTRACT: This article provides an overview of the historical presence of foreign languages in Lebanon, focusing on English availability and contact from the eighteenth century to date. Through sociolinguistic profiling, the paper describes the users and uses of English, and it surveys Lebanese attitudes towards English. The article begins by offering a general overview of the country, its languages and cultures, and its ethnic and religious groups. It presents a description of users of English along with a characterization of how the interpersonal, instrumental, regulative, and innovative functions are manifested in the Lebanese context. The final section explores attitudes toward English. The paper argues that although Arabic is the only official language in Lebanon, English has expanded and integrated in the society, and it has a strong interpersonal and instrumental presence especially among the youths of Lebanon.

The Anti-Defamation League monitors and documents anti-Semitic cartoons and articles, which appear daily in the Arab and Muslim media. This publication is the latest compilation of select anti-Semitic and thematic caricatures and articles in the Arab and Muslim media, and includes examples from July-December 2013. Newspapers across the Arab and Muslim world continue to feature anti-Semitic caricatures and themes, with demonic depictions of Jews that include horns, big noses, black coats and hats, large skull caps, and many promoting age-old global Jewish conspiracy theories, including control of international governments, obsession with money and the use of animal imagery – snakes, octopuses, and vultures - to portray Israel and Jews as sinister predators.

The Gen ‘Z’, ‘Home Generation’, Post- CMillennials or whatever strange label they wear, are trying to find themselves in this morphing world we live in. They are looked upon as being more open minded - accepting other cultures a lot more readily (thanks to the Internet). These children are building upon the foundation of the previous generations, eyeing the world through a very unique perspective - they understand that the only way the world can become better is when we realize that we all want to live by each oth- er’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. Moreover, learning from the previous generation with their ‘can do’ attitude, they are the people that will take the first steps down a new road, armed with controversial thinking and beaming intelligence. If you are ever against this force which typhoons are named after, just stop and think - who has really raised them? This generation will suffer, just like the ones before them. With the rise of IS, global tensions and global warming, a united generation is needed.
