Egyptian cinema as a tool in the struggle against Islamic terro / Birnbaum, Sariel   Journal Article
Birnbaum, Sariel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The cinema has been used by Egyptian regimes, from the monarchy until Mubarak, to resist the political agenda of Islamic radicals and terrorists. Edward Said and others describe Islamic terrorists' images in the Western media as "Western fantasies." Nevertheless, for Egyptian intellectuals, terrorists were and remain a stark reality. In Egypt, the entire state apparatus was set in motion to fight Islamic terrorism. The state was unprepared for the massive popular uprising of 2011. While the direction that Egyptian culture will follow after Mubarak remains unclear, an important objective is to study pre-revolutionary Egyptian cinema and to understand its ideological tendencies.
