| Sommario/riassunto: | This work presents research on cultural politics and battles in Egypt at the turn of the 21st century. It deconstructs the boundaries between 'high' and 'low' culture, drawing on tools in cultural studies, translation studies, and gender studies to analyze debates in the fields of literature, cinema, mass media and the plastic arts. |
