How do people come to think of themselves as part of a nation? "Dramas of Nationhood" identifies a fantastic cultural form that binds together the Egyptian nation--television serials. These melodramatic programs--like soap operas but more closely tied to political and social issues than their Western counterparts--have been shown on television in Egypt for more than thirty years. In this book, Lila Abu-Lughod examines the shifting politics of these serials and the way their contents both reflect and seek to direct the changing course of Islam, gender relations, and everyday life in this Middle Eastern nation.
Representing a decade's worth of research, "Dramas of Nationhood" makes a case for the importance of studying television to answer larger questions about culture, power, and modern self-fashionings. Abu-Lughod explores the elements of developmentalist ideology and the visions of national progress that once dominated Egyptian television--now experiencing a crisis. She discusses the broadcasts in rich detail, from the generic emotional qualities of TV serials and the depictions of authentic national culture, to the debates inflamed by their deliberate strategies for combating religious extremism.

不知道为什么读不下去。对媒体这个题材不是很感兴趣，读起来总觉得是文化分析，虽然作者强调了把ethnographic elements加入分析，但还是显得单薄。另外作为一本书感觉整体感不是很强，反而像论文集。

评分90年代的ethnography，放到现在肯定有过时的，尤其是YouTube诞生之后对这种传统的state-controlled电视产业产生的影响是不用言说的。整本书主要有几个fieldsite：家政服务工人（带着一对双胞胎去埃及得有人照顾）、上埃及的农村地区（跟Mitchell一起去度假），电视剧生产行业。对于埃及国内的社会经济不平等以及媒体representation还是很有借鉴意义的，也可以和作者一篇论文Finding place for Islam对读。马了Rafat al-Haggan这部剧，看起来好有意思！
