Mediating the Uprising: Narratives of Gender and Marriage in Syrian Television Drama

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
