Language and Identity in Modern Egypt
Language and Identity in Modern Egypt
Cite
Abstract
How is language used in Egyptian public discourse to illuminate the collective identity of Egyptians? How does this identity relate to language form and content? This book explores these questions by drawing on sources including newspaper articles, caricatures, blogs, patriotic songs, films, school textbooks, TV talk-shows, poetry, and novels. As well as furthering our understanding of the relationship between identity and language, it yields insights about the intricate ways in which media and public discourse help shape and outline identity through linguistic processes. The book offers an in-depth study of identity in modern Egyptian public discourse; focuses on nationalist discourse before, during, and after the Egyptian revolution of 2011; is based on a broad and representative selection of data; and helps us to decode and understand the messages put forward by the competing factions in Egyptian politics.
