| description | This article argues for a cultural approach of the Arab revolutions, one often neglected in the French academic field, and suggests some hypotheses aiming at analysing the Egyptian revolutionary period (2011‑2013) as a cultural revolution which brings with itself the downfall of the “nahdawi paradigm”, i.e., a century‑long model based on the domination of an elite of cultural producers closely linked with the ideological state apparatuses. The 2011‑2013 period highlights the importance of the generational divide in the social field in general and in the cultural field in particular; it also brings with itself new cultural productions and new cultural practices whose emergence was already noticeable in the two decades before 2011 and which resist the current authoritarian backlash, allowing one to bet that they will eventually lead to far‑reaching changes when the “2011 generation” comes of age. |
