The first in-depth study of the institutional and infrastructural background of animation
production in the Arab world. Explores the position of animation production in national
media and cultural industries. Examines how Arab producers and artists have used the
animation format to mediate national, pan-Arab, Islamic and revolutionary identities
Exploring political and religious identity in Arab animation. By textually analysing
around 40 productions from the 1930s until recently, this critical study explores
how animated cartoons of the Arab world have been used to promote various notions
of identity and mediate political and religious messages. Omar Sayfo explores how
Arab animations, as cultural and media texts, have been deeply engaged in the making
and remaking of religious and political identities. By analysing animation production
in Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, the Palestinian Territories, Qatar, Saudi
Arabia, Syria, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates, this book seeks to demonstrate
how rival notions of national, pan-Arab and Islamic identities have been advocated,
challenged and fused by Arab animated cartoons. From the 1930s until the recent spread
of online animations, animated cartoon production in the Arab world was the privilege
of individuals and institutions with strong links to academic, media and political
elites. These elites had maintained both direct and indirect authority over production
in a number of ways, including funding, regulation and censorship. Arab animated films
and series thus became a legitimate focus of well-defined cultural policies and, in
many cases, even of political and religious agendas
