Description de l'ouvrage :
Explores how Arab animations have been deeply engaged in the making and remaking of religious and political identities
• The first in-depth study of the institutional and infrastructural background of animation production in the Arab world
• Explores the position of animation production in national media and cultural industries
• Examines how Arab producers and artists have used the animation format to mediate national, pan-Arab, Islamic and revolutionary identitiesExploring political and religious identity in Arab animation
By textually analysing around 40 productions from the 1930s until recently, this critical study explores how animated cartoons of the Arab world have been used to promote various notions of identity and mediate political and religious messages.
Omar Sayfo explores how Arab animations, as cultural and media texts, have been deeply engaged in the making and remaking of religious and political identities. By analysing animation production in Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, the Palestinian Territories, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates, this book seeks to demonstrate how rival notions of national, pan-Arab and Islamic identities have been advocated, challenged and fused by Arab animated cartoons.
From the 1930s until the recent spread of online animations, animated cartoon production in the Arab world was the privilege of individuals and institutions with strong links to academic, media and political elites. These elites had maintained both direct and indirect authority over production in a number of ways, including funding, regulation and censorship. Arab animated films and series thus became a legitimate focus of well-defined cultural policies and, in many cases, even of political and religious agendas.

Revue de Presse :
This work is encyclopaedic in ambition and scope. Its coverage includes details of the production background and texts of scores of animations, organised coherently according to the author’s framework of national, pan-Arab, Islamic, ‘revolutionary’ and global identities and researched through painstaking and resourceful seeking out and sifting of a wide range of archives and sources, including interviews.– Naomi Sakr, Professor of Media Policy, University of Westminster
Dr. Sayfo has worked with the best scholars in the field, and has done such a large amount of groundwork through interviews and fieldwork, that I am convinced this book will serve as one of the benchmarks for research on Arab animation in years to come. This excellent book combines critical analysis of existing scholarship with original research that has not been accessed or unlocked previously.– Professor Stefanie Van de Peer, Lecturer in Film and Media, Queen Margaret University
