We should take time for self-reflection. We are so proud of our hardworking board for producing so many exceptional events over the past year. In fact, pictures from our record-breaking Spring Luncheon were prominently featured in Westport Magazine! Check it out! Thank you so much to our wonderful board members for a great year. This time of year also affords an opportunity to think about what is important to us and how we can better ourselves. We think about what it means to be a Jewish American in this changing world. We see many of our neighbors putting up signs in six languages with the message, "Hate Has no Home Here" as an inspiration of tolerance and acceptance of Group shot of current and past presidents at Spring Fundraiser – people from all religious, racial and ethnic backgrounds.

We see American companies and schools supporting the Palestinian-led BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) of Israel and Israeli EXECUTIVE BOARD products.

    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: TELEVISION NEWS AND THE STATE IN LEBANON Jad P. Melki, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor Susan D. Moeller College of Journalism This dissertation studies the relationship between television news and the state in Lebanon. It utilizes and reworks New Institutionalism theory by adding aspects of Mitchell’s state effect and other concepts devised from Carey and Foucault. The study starts with a macro-level analysis outlining the major cultural, economic and political factors that influenced the evolution of television news in that country. It then moves to a mezzo-level analysis of the institutional arrangements, routines and practices that dominated the news production process. Finally, it zooms in to a micro-level analysis of the final product of Lebanese broadcast news, focusing on the newscast, its rundown and scripts and the smaller elements that make up the television news story. The study concludes that the highly fragmented Lebanese society generated a similarly fragmented and deeply divided political/economic elite, which used its resources and access to the news media to solidify its status and, by doing so, recreated and confirmed the politico-sectarian divide in this country. In this vicious cycle, the institutionalized and instrumentalized television news played the role of mediator between the elites and their fragmented constituents, and simultaneously bolstered the political and economic power of the former while keeping the latter tightly held in their grip. The hard work and values of the individual journalist were systematically channeled through this powerful institutional mechanism and redirected to serve the top of the hierarchy.

  • Dissertation Title: English in Lebanon: Implications for National Identity and Language Policy
    Dissertation Title: English in Lebanon: Implications for national identity and language policy Researcher: Fatima Esseili Purdue University [email protected] Fatima Esseili Research Supervisor: Dr. Margie Berns Summary: This study provides a sociolinguistic profile of English in Lebanon. It focuses on the uses of English (and French and Arabic to a lesser extent) in different venues in the Lebanese society, primarily in the capital Beirut. The study also examines the Lebanese attitudes toward mixing languages in daily speech, and attempts to provide reasons for such a trend. The project used mixed methods (observational accounts, field notes, interviews, and questionnaire) to describe the presence of foreign languages in both the social and educational contexts in Lebanon. Primary data includes results from a questionnaire (276 participants), interviews with 51 participants, and three years‟ worth of observational accounts and field notes. Findings from this study suggest that the Lebanese society is steadily transitioning to using English as the first foreign language. Findings also reveal that contrary to other Expanding Circle contexts where the mix of English and local languages is looked down upon, mixing Arabic, English, and French in Lebanon is highly regarded by more than half of the participants. Moreover, the Lebanese attitudes toward using foreign languages in general and English in particular are highly favorable. Finally, this study reveals that English language teaching (ELT) in public schools needs a thorough reevaluation from the Lebanese government, and that private schools should consider adapting ELT textbooks to the needs of the local students.

  • Hedging “Queer”/ Sexual Non- Normativity in Beirut
    CROSS-BRACING SEXUALITIES: HEDGING “QUEER”/ SEXUAL NON- NORMATIVITY IN BEIRUT By Adriana Qubaiová Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Gender Studies Supervisor: Hadley Z. Renkin CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2019 Copyright Statement I hereby declare that this dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. Nor does it contain materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographic reference. th April 29 , 2019 CEU eTD Collection i Abstract Based on 15 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Beirut, this dissertation traces the (re)production of gendered non-normative sexualities as co-constituted by the local and the global. Several actors emerge as central players in shaping the meanings and politics of ‗the sexual‘ in Beirut today: the Lebanese state and its security apparatus, LGBT-rights NGOs and activists, ‗queer‘ bars, and Syrian refugees. These actors continuously configure the politics of gender and sexual non-normativity and sexual subjectivity in relation to power, profit, space, kinship, and displacement. Prevalent scholarly approaches to gender and sexual non-normativity in the Middle East (West Asia) have been caught in a debate over local authenticity on the one hand and imperial imposition and mimicry on the other. I argue for a way out of this bind. In line with post- structuralism, I propose ‗cross-bracing‘ as a theoretical structure that captures ‗the sexual‘ as a set of unequal and cross-dependent interactions among dominant forces of the local, regional, and transnational.

  • Allah, Allah, Allah: the Role of God in the Arab Version of the Voice
    religions Article Allah, Allah, Allah: The Role of God in the Arab Version of The Voice Jan Jaap De Ruiter 1 and Mona Farrag Attwa 1,2,* 1 Tilburg University, 5037 AB Tilburg, The Netherlands; [email protected] 2 Department of Asian Languages and Civilizations, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This article discusses Arabic expressions referring to God, such as inshallah, mashallah, and alhamdulillah in the 2014 season of the Arab version of the talent show The Voice. It discusses the question to what extent these expressions are used by the various actors in the show, in particular its four jury members and three presenters, and it tries to explain why they use them and to what purpose. The analysis is set against the background of the question what the relationship is between ‘language’ (in this case, the various varieties of Arabic) and ‘religion’ (in this case, Christianity and Islam). The analysis yielded nearly 40 Arabic expressions referring to God (Allah or Rabb (Lord)) that together showed up more than 600 times in the 10 episodes of the show that were the object of analysis. The conclusion is that the expressions indeed have ‘religious’ roots but that they have at the same time become part and parcel of not necessarily religiously intended speaking styles expressing all kind of feelings, such as astonishment, surprise, disappointment, etc. This conclusion goes well with observations made in earlier research on the questions at stake. Keywords: expressions referring to God; varieties of Arabic; Arabic talent shows; language and religion Citation: De Ruiter, Jan Jaap, and Mona Farrag Attwa.

  • Comparative Readings of the Lebanese Media System
    Comparative Readings of the Lebanese Media System Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades einer Doktorin der Philosophie (Dr. Phil.) der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Erfurt vorgelegt von Sarah El Richani aus Choueifat (Libanon) Erfurt, 2014 urn:nbn:de:gbv:547-201600105 Erstes Gutachten: Prof. Dr. Kai Hafez (Universität Erfurt) Zweites Gutachten: Prof. Jean Seaton (Universität von Westminster, London, Großbritannien) Eingereicht: 5. November 2014 Datum der Promotion: 8. April 2015 Summary The focus of this dissertation is on the Lebanese media system and the extent this system can be subsumed under one of the three ideal types put forth by Daniel Hallin and Paolo Mancini in their seminal work Comparing Media Systems. This endeavour uses the Hallin and Mancini framework as a scholarly springboard in an effort to take their sets of variables and models beyond the established democracies of Europe and North America. This research responds to a recurring call for comparative work and particularly for the application of the Hallin and Mancini framework on other non-Western media systems. By critically applying their framework to the Lebanese media system, this thesis assesses the complex dimensions developed by the two scholars. These include: the development of media markets, political parallelism, the degree of development of journalistic professionalism and the degree and nature of state intervention. Hallin and Mancini acknowledge that restricting themselves to the western world was a limitation. They also suggest that their work should serve as an inspiration for a process of re-modelling by adapting and reconfiguring their framework and their three ideal types to a given context.
