In order to dissect this question, the author considers the complexity of the relationship between the Egyptian people and their national army, and how popular cultural products play a pivotal role in reinforcing or subverting this relationship. The author takes the reader on a ‘journey’ through crucial historical and political events in Egypt whilst focusing on multi-layered representations of the ‘military figure’ (the military leader, the heroic soldier, the freedom fighter, the conscript, the martyred soldier, and the Intelligence officer) in a wide range of popular works in literature, film, song, TV drama series, and graffiti art. Mostafa argues that the realm of popular culture in Egypt serves as the ‘blood veins’ which feed the nation’s perception of its Armed Forces. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Egyptian Army; Egyptian Popular Culture; Egyptian Revolution; 25th January; Military Figure; Abdel Fattah | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-59372-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-59372-6 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 |
