Abstract:

When politicians and pundits in the Middle East discuss democracy, do
they mean it? Looking at public discourse about democracy in
contemporary Egypt, Dunne proposes a fresh way of reading Arabic
political discourse. She charts a method combining ethnographic
research into communities of people producing political discourse with
investigation of the texts themselves, using tools from anthropology,
pragmatics, and sociolinguistics - a method with broad applicability
to political discourse generally. Taking off from the premise that all
discourse is based in social interaction, this book demonstrates that
looking at the ways individuals and groups use public discourse to
perform critical social and political functions yields entirely new
perspectives on the significance of the discourse.

Democracy in Contemporary Egyptian Political Discourse is a valuable
resource for students of linguistics, political science, democracy
studies, Arabic language, and Middle East area studies.
