Summary/Abstract |
If Saddam Hussein is overthrown by an internal coup, his regime could be succeeded by something similar, albeit with softer edges. A US-led invasion, however, could cause the United States to embark on an ambitious plan for ‘state reconstruction’. In doing so, the stamina of the United States will be severely tested by the resistance of the ‘shadow state’, the lure of communal politics, the indispensability of the security forces and the temptations of massive oil revenues. Faced by regional states determined to play a ‘spoiler’ role, the United States may reduce its exposure and accept much of the status quo in Iraq. Saddam would have gone, but the Iraqis would be left a government little more representative than they have at present.

Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the significance of and the motives behind the projection of a distinctively Islamic image of King Faruq of Egypt in the years that followed his ascent to the Throne in 1936. It argues that the creation of the persona of al-malik al-salih (the righteous king) was one aspect of the strategy developed by Ali Mahir Pasha (Prime Minister and then Head of the Royal Diwan) to safeguard the monarchy in an era of mass politics. The campaign, however, took on a life of its own, obliging Ali Mahir to reassert control over the image of the ‘righteous king’.

Summary/Abstract |
This contribution develops three major lines of argument. Firstly, it argues that identifying ‘popular culture’ is not simply a definitional exercise but is also purposeful and performative. Secondly, it contends that ‘popular cultures’ are always implicated in power relations in multiple ways. Finally, it maintains that using a performative lens adds to our understanding of the political dimensions of ‘popular cultures’. Taking examples chiefly from the Middle East and North Africa, it avers that studying ‘popular cultures’ highlights the links between the political and the performative, understood both as acting out (theatrical) and as bringing into being (effective). The term ‘culture(s) of the public(s)’ is used to capture the idea of the public as a plurality of active citizens, distinct from the politically charged term ‘the people’. These publics claim space as their right, experiencing agonistic encounters with the different generations, genders, classes, ethnicities that use their own repertoires to assert their claims. Thus, the cultures of the plural public can help to fashion the public self as citizen, but for that same reason can also provoke ferocious repression from those who feel most threatened by such a development.
