SUMMARY
Summary Arab Cultural Studies is a fast emerging field of research and study in Middle East and Western universities. In this book, prominent scholars, writing from both Arab and Western academia, discuss for the first time the ways in which this nascent area can be conceptualised and theorised. They provide a meta¿]narrative about how scholars have thus far thought and unthought the field, engaging with key complex, epistemic and methodological questions. At the same time they are articulating the new kinds of language and hermeneutics necessary in order to appropriate an historically conscious and coherent field of scientific enquiry into contemporary Arab media, culture and society. The book throughout reflects on and engages in an interdisciplinary discussion on the different facets of Arab cultural studies, including gender, economy, epistemology, language, method, politics, literary and cultural criticism, institutionalization, popular culture, creativity, and much more.
