Description

About the Author Natalie Khazaal is assistant professor of international studies and Arab culture at Texas A&M University. She studies the role of the media in representations of minorities, as well as the role of language and literature in generating media representations. Product Description How did a new, irresistible brand of television emerge from the Lebanese Civil War (1975-91) to conquer the Arab region in the satellite era? What role did seductive news anchors, cool language teachers, superheroes, and gossip magazines play in negotiating a modern relationship between television and audiences? How did the government lose its television monopoly to sectarian militias? Pretty Liar explores the rise of language and gender politics in Lebanese television during the Civil War of 1975-91. Khazaal tells the untold story of the coevolution of Lebanese television and its audience, and the ways in which the war influenced that transformation. Khazaal analyzes news, entertainment, and educational shows from Télé Liban and LBC, novels, periodicals, and popular culture to explain how controversies over language and gender became a referendum on television's relevance. Based on empirical data, Khazaal shows how television became a site for politics and political resistance, feminism, and the cradle for postwar Lebanon. Pretty Liar challenges the narrow focus on present-day satellite television and social media, offering the first account of how broadcast television transformed media's legitimacy in the Arab world. This groundbreaking book shows how the history of television in Lebanon is a history not merely of corporate technology but of a people and their continuing demand for responsive media, especially during times of civil unrest. Review A well-written, impeccably researched, and groundbreaking study of television in Lebanon during the country's civil war.-- "Christopher Stone, author of Popular Culture and Nationalism in Lebanon: the Fairouz and Rahbani Nation"An original, accessible, and welcome contribution to the scant literature on Lebanese television. . . . It is an auspicious reminder that Arab media studies has moved into a new phase, away from general introductions to the field and towards an excavation of rich and specific genealogies.-- "Marwan M. Kraidy, author of The Naked Blogger of Cairo: Creative Insurgency in the Arab World"This is a fine work and will be a substantive contribution to literature on Lebanon and on media in the region.-- "Andrea Stanton, associate professor of Islamic studies, University of Denver"This well-researched and rich monograph concludes correctly that Lebanese television, LBC included, has indeed mostly helped establish a 'new hegemonic order based in consumer culture rather than the breakdown of hegemony.'-- "Middle East Journal"
