Class Details
How does Arabic media represent the Arab landscape? This course will explore Arabic media as a window to the understanding of modern Arab thought and culture. It will discuss Arabic media as a vehicle through which issues of political, historical, social, and economic significance in the Arab world are discussed, debated, and analyzed. Some issues include political and social freedoms, inter-Arab relations, national identity, recent revolts, gender identities, the Arabic language in a changing world, and technology in the age of globalization. The course will explore these issues as represented in the language of print, internet, television, movies, and social media, and we will employ linguistic and paralinguistic analysis of these resources.
