| Title | (Mis)Representation, Hegemony and Counter-Hegemony: The Production of Nubian Displacement and Resistance Historical Narratives in Egypt (2007-2017) |
| Summary | For more than a century, Nubians efforts to go back to what remains of their dispossessed lands accumulated by the Egyptian state and receive proper compensations for their submerged lands after the construction of Aswan Low Dam in 1902 and Aswan High Dam in 1964 are still being neglected by consecutive Egyptian governments. This thesis questions how Egypt is exercising hegemony over Nubians through enforcing hegemonic historical narratives using popular culture representations to silence the Nubian displacement and resistance history. It also questions how Nubians offers counter-narratives that challenge the state’s hegemonic narratives. |
