EP 19 - Andrew Simon: On Music Censorship, Vulgarity, and Historical Counter-narratives in Egypt
Manage episode 331107617 series 3002606
Dr. Andrew Simon is a lecturer and research associate in Middle Eastern Studies at Dartmouth College.
Simon's most recent publication and first book, "Media of the Masses: Cassette Culture in Modern Egypt," (Stanford University Press 2022) draws on a wide array of audio, visual, and textual sources that exist outside the Egyptian National Archives, and in so doing, provides a new entry point into understanding everyday life and culture. He investigates the social life of the cassette tape to offer a history of modern Egypt.
In this episode of Tahrir Podcast, Simon joined me to talk about his time in Egypt, his book "Media of the Masses," music censorship, vulgarity, historical counter-narratives, and Sheikh Imam.
