Informationen zum Autor Rebecca Joubin is an associate professor and chair of Arab studies at Davidson College, North Carolina. Klappentext Based on intensive fieldwork in Damascus and Beirut, Mediating the Uprising shows how gender and marriage metaphors inform Syrian television drama with various forms of cultural and political critique. The emergence of these suppressed narratives attests to the survival of the genre despite instability, war, and bloodshed.
