      Bassam Haddad Interviews the Co-Editors of Jadaliyya's New Photography and Visual Narratives Page

      This past week, we launched our new Photography and Audiovisual Narratives Page! The Jadaliyya Photography and Audiovisual Narratives Page is an online space to showcase and discuss visual narratives from and/or about the Middle East and North Africa. The page serves both as a knowledge resource about visual production in the region, and also as a platform through which to expand perspectives related to how the region is represented, how communities see themselves, and one another.

      To showcase the new page, Jadaliyya Co-Editor Bassam Haddad interviewed members of the new page on their goals in launching the page, their experience in photography and other audiovisual pursuits, and what they see the role of photography to be in narrating Middle Eastern and North African communities.

Sisi Mania in Photos

Expressions of support for former army chief and the presumed presidential election winner Abdel Fattah al-Sisi have reached new heights during the lead-up to the 26-28 May 2014 vote. His name and image can be found on billboards all over the buildings, posters plastered on the walls coffee shops, and photos on display at street vendors’ stands.

As I covered the elections over the course of the past week in Cairo, I encountered pro-military songs everywhere—coffee shops, driving cars, public transportation, television, outside of polling stations, and even inside of them. Most notably, one could hear the loud tunes of "tislam al-ayyadi" (blessed be the hands), a song that glorifies Sisi`s ouster of President Mohamed Morsi on 3 July 2013.

Meanwhile, there were no signs of posters or billboards of Sisi’s challenger Hamdeen Sabahi. Official election results are due on 5 June 2014, but unofficial vote counts indicate that Sisi is the clear winner.
