It is two years since the world witnessed millions of Arabs march, strike, struggle and fight to get rid of their repressive regimes. The revolutionary uprisings are on-going and difficult but did succeed in disrupting scholarly tendencies to essentialise the Middle East and reclaiming people’s agency as a key factor in revolutionary change.

This conference benefits from and further pushes that disruption by reflecting critically on the politics of the media as well as the online-offline dialectics of:

  • Revolutionary media processes
  • Post-revolutionary challenges and struggles
  • Theoretical reinventions in media studies
  • Practical interventions in technological mediation
  • Trans-regional reporting of the revolutions
