It reflects and engages in an interdisciplinary discussion on the different facets of Arab cultural studies, including gender, economy, history, epistemology, language, method, politics, literary and cultural criticism, institutionalization, popular culture, creativity and much more.  The book presents a meta-narrative about how scholars have thus far thought and re-thought the field. It brings together prominent and emerging experts, writing from both Arab and Western academia, to engage with key complex, epistemic and methodological questions and to articulate in the meantime the new kinds of language and hermeneutics necessary for the appropriation of an historically conscious and coherent field of scientific enquiry into contemporary Arab media, culture and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Tarik Sabry  Chapter 1 Cultural Criticism: Theory \u0026amp; Method Abdullah Al Ghadhami  Chapter 2 The Saudi Modernity Wars According To ‘Abdullah Al-Ghadhami: A Template for the Study of Arab Culture and Media Marwan Kraidy  Chapter 3 Arab Media Studies between the Legacy of a Thin Discipline  And the Promise of New Cultural Pathways Mohamed Zayani  Chapter 4 Cultural Studies in Arab World Academic Communication Programmes The Battle for Survival Muhammad Ayish   Chapter 5 In search of the Great Absent: Cultural Studies in Arab Universities Riadh Ferjani  Chapter 6 Resources, Creativity and Arab culture: Insights from a Political Economy Approach Naomi Sakr  Chapter 7 Language as culture: The question of Arabic Atef al-Shaer  Chapter: 8 Rethinking the Arab State and Culture: Power, discourse and media in contemporary Syria Dina Matar  Chapter 9 The Necessary Politics of Palestinian Cultural Studies  Helga Tawil-Souri  Chapter 10 Rethinking Gender Studies in the Arab World: A Conceptual Intervention Layal Ftouni  Chapter 11 Disarticulating Arab Popular Culture: The Case of Egyptian Comedies.
