How ideas of law, justice, and agency are visualized and contested in Egyptian television crime dramas
What has citizenship come to mean in Egypt after 2011? Since 2007, constitutions have proclaimed it as the foundation of Egypt's democratic system, yet the everyday workings of citizenship often unfold in the shadows of legal texts. Gianluca Parolin thus turns to Egyptian television drama--specifically, the emerging crime genre of the 2010s--to explore how ideas of law, justice, and agency are visualized and contested on screen. Unlike its prominence elsewhere, crime drama has not historically been acknowledged as a distinct genre on Egyptian television. Yet during the 2010s, a recognizable crime formula began to take shape across a large number of incarnations. This book identifies the emergence of this formula, which embodies ways of imagining the relationship between citizens, law, and the state. Through depictions of investigation, policing, and civic intervention, these dramas portray citizens stepping in to restore justice when law enforcement fails to deliver on its most basic promise. Combining distant readings of broad trends across the decade's television output with close readings of key series, Scripting Citizenship examines how this formula flourished within Egypt's tightly regulated media landscape, and how it displayed formidable resilience through the transformations of the late 2010s. In doing so, the book develops a jurisprudential reading of the Egyptian crime formula--a legal theory in which drama casts its own light across the shadows of legal texts, revealing a visual definition of citizenship for viewers and scholars alike.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
