Blogging from Egypt : Digital Literature, 2005-2016 Hardback
Edited by Teresa Pepe
Part of the Edinburgh Studies in Modern Arabic Literature series
Hardback
Description
Six years before the Egyptian revolution of January 2011, many young Egyptians had resorted to blogging as a means of self-expression and literary creativity.
This resulted in the emergence of a new literary genre: the autofictional blog.
Such blogs are explored here as forms of digital literature, combining literary analysis and interviews with the authors. The blogs analysed give readers a glimpse into the daily lives, feelings and aspirations of the Egyptian youth who have pushed the country towards a cultural and political revolution.
The narratives are also indicative of significant aesthetic and political developments taking place in Arabic literature and culture.
