[Commlist] New book series - Political Communication and Media Practices in the Middle East and North Africa

*Political Communication and Media Practices in the Middle East and 
North Africa *

*I.B.Tauris is seeking book proposals for a new academic book series: 
Political Communication and Media Practices in the Middle East and North 
Africa.*

The**popular uprisings that rocked several Arab countries at the 
beginning of 2011, and the more recent ones in Algeria, Sudan, Lebanon 
and Iraq, arose, among other things, in the context of changing media 
practices and political communication in the region. Beyond the actions 
by political elites and institutions, several of these movements were 
characterised by grassroots communication on social media, and many 
included creative practises by a diverse range of actors.

Books in this seriescritically engage with the complex and fluid 
relationship between politics, communication and culture in the Middle 
East and North Africa, taking into account the specificities of social 
and political local contexts, diverse political and media systems, media 
institutions, media and political actors and populations as well as 
differentiations along religious, sectarian, ethnic, gendered and racial 
lines. Topics and themes include, but are not limited to, the following 
areas:

-Political communication and crises (wars, conflict, unrest).

-Digital activism in the Middle East and North Africa.

-Social networks as spaces for political communication.

-Gendered political communication in the Middle East and North Africa.

-Political communication and popular culture.

-Affective political communication.

-Journalism as political communication.

-Ethical political communication practices

-Media and emerging political alliances.

-Religion and political Communication

-Hate speech/racism as political communication.

The series publishes monographs and edited collections. All proposal and 
manuscripts are subject to rigorous peer review.
