Publisher Description:
English summary: Popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have had a deep impact, not only on the societies and political structures in the respective countries there, but also on different academic disciplines. The events that started in 2010 in Tunisia have altered academic terminology, contributed to a shift in study focus and sometimes challenged dominant theoretical approaches. The book provides an insightful and illuminating view of the transformation of the academic landscape in the aftermath of these uprisings. It analyses how the academic discourse in and on the MENA region has changed and reflects on how the aforementioned transformation processes, which are still ongoing, are shaping lines of inquiry in different disciplines, including political science, Arabic literature and language studies, philosophy, communication studies, sociology, computer studies and archaeology. The books authors are members of the Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA). German description: Die "Arabellionen" im Nahen Osten und in Nordafrika (MENA) haben nicht nur auf die Gesellschaften und politischen Strukturen in den jeweiligen Landern tiefgreifende Auswirkungen, sondern auch auf verschiedene akademische Disziplinen. Die Ereignisse, die im Jahr 2010 in Tunesien begannen, haben Terminologien verandert, Schwerpunkte verschoben und manchmal dominante theoretische Ansatze in Frage gestellt. Das Buch bietet einen aufschlussreichen Einblick in die Transformation der akademischen Welt nach den Aufstanden. Es analysiert, wie sich der akademische Diskurs in und uber die MENA-Region verandert hat und reflektiert, wie die noch andauernden Transformationsprozesse Ansatze in verschiedenen Disziplinen beeinflussen - insbesondere in Politikwissenschaft, Arabistik, Philosophie, Kommunikationswissenschaft, Soziologie, Informatik und Archaologie. Die Autoren sind Mitglieder der Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA).
