Reviews
"In this pioneering and vitally important book, El-Ariss confronts readers with a new digital reality in which accepted norms of reception and evaluation are challenged, parodied, or abandoned. In their place, the culture of leaks and hacks prevails. The implications of his findings extend far beyond the context of the Arabic-speaking world." --Roger Allen, professor emeritus, University of Pennsylvania, "Bold and exciting." --Emily Apter, author of Against World Literature: On the Politics of Untranslatability, "A bold effort to redefine Arab literary and cultural studies in the contexts of social media and the digital information age . . . . . provocative and ultimately sublime." ---Joel Gordon, Critical Inquiry, " Leaks, Hacks, and Scandals is a truly significant book, combining cutting-edge research on digital media in the Arab world with insights into classical Arabic literature. El-Ariss's topic could not be more important." --Ellen Anne McLarney, author of Soft Force: Women in Egypt's Islamic Awakening, "Through riveting examples ranging from anonymous hackers targeting the Lebanese government to renegade Saudi Twitter users, El-Ariss provides a compelling look at the links between contemporary Arabic literary production and the culture of scandal. Leaks, Hacks, and Scandals is required reading for anyone seeking to understand contemporary Arab culture in the digital age." --Brian T. Edwards, author of After the American Century: The Ends of U.S. Culture in the Middle East

Synopsis
How digital media are transforming Arab culture, literature, and politics In recent years, Arab activists have confronted authoritarian regimes both on the street and online, leaking videos and exposing atrocities, and demanding political rights. Tarek El-Ariss situates these critiques of power within a pervasive culture of scandal and leaks and shows how cultural production and political change in the contemporary Arab world are enabled by digital technology yet emerge from traditional cultural models. Focusing on a new generation of activists and authors from Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, El-Ariss connects WikiLeaks to The Arabian Nights , Twitter to mystical revelation, cyberattacks to pre-Islamic tribal raids, and digital activism to the affective scene-making of Arab popular culture. He shifts the epistemological and historical frameworks from the postcolonial condition to the digital condition and shows how new media challenge the novel as the traditional vehicle for political consciousness and intellectual debate. Theorizing the rise of "the leaking subject" who reveals, contests, and writes through chaotic yet highly political means, El-Ariss investigates the digital consciousness, virality, and affective forms of knowledge that jolt and inform the public and that draw readers in to the unfolding fiction of scandal. Leaks, Hacks, and Scandals maps the changing landscape of Arab modernity, or Nahda , in the digital age and traces how concepts such as the nation, community, power, the intellectual, the author, and the novel are hacked and recoded through new modes of confrontation, circulation, and dissent.
