About this title

Synopsis

What is ‘Arab’ about Arab subcultures? This is the first book to set out to delineate different ways of studying and theorizing Arab subcultural groups and practices, including film, graffiti, music, live art performances, Arab techies and youth cultures. Contributors tackle a number of questions including: How is the study of Arab subcultures to be theorized? How are we to analyze such creative processes in a new worldliness characterised by trans-temporality and trans-subjectivity? Arab Subcultures effectively opens up a critical and interdisciplinary dialogue about Arab subcultures with different fields of enquiry - including anthropology, philosophy, art criticism and cultural studies - at the heart of which lies the key intellectual task of re-imagining the uneasy relation between aesthetics and politics in an age of revolutions.
