  Raiding the Author: Mobilization and Dissent in the Arab Digital Age  
(Special Event)

About the lecture:
Dr. Tarek El-Ariss starts with a general overview of Arabic culture in the digital age, identifying transformations in modes of writing and reporting and in political activism. Tracing these transformations to both historical and technological developments starting in the 1990s, he focuses on the Gulf as a site of cultural production and digital contestation. Specific case studies will deal with gender politics and representation, and the resurgence of models of mobilization that could be traced to pre-Islamic Arabia.

Dr. Tarek El-Ariss is the James Wright Professor at Dartmouth College, where he teaches Middle Eastern Studies and Comparative Literature. He is the author of Trials of Arab Modernity: Literary Affects and the New Political and Leaks, Hacks, and Scandals: Arab Culture in the Digital Age, and editor of The Arab Renaissance: A Bilingual Anthology of the Nahda. In 2021, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship to complete a forthcoming book entitled, Water on Fire.
