It conceives the concept of “collective dreaming” to map out the subliminal feeling which runs deep through experiences of socially transformative moments. The author has extensively studied the structure of feelings that encompasses the experiences not only of activist minorities but the broader mass of revolutionary movements. In certain historical moments, hopes and aspirations bind together millions of people from all walks of life: students, workers, farmers, and middle-class professionals. Nagaty calls this phenomenon the “collective dream”, something which has been carried through generations of Egyptians. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of social movement studies, cultural studies and cultural sociology. Sarah Nagaty holds a PhD in Cultural Studies from the UCP, Lisbon and the University of Copenhagen, having previously been a researcher at the Library of Alexandria, Egypt.Social structureEqualityPolitical sociologyCultureStudy and teachingCultureMiddle EastPolitics and governmentSocial StructurePolitical SociologyCultural StudiesSociology of CultureMiddle Eastern PoliticsSocial structure.Equality.Political sociology.CultureStudy and teaching.Culture.Middle EastPolitics and government.Social Structure.Political Sociology.Cultural Studies.Sociology of Culture.Middle Eastern Politics.962.05962.05Nagaty Sarah1448764MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910765475503321The Collective Dream3644625UNINA
