| Title | The Stigma of Revolutionary Activism in Egypt: the case of wanted political opponents |
| Summary | My research focuses on the experience of wanted people after the 2013 military coup. Based on autoethnography and interviews with a group of wanted people who live in Egypt or who could flee to Istanbul. I chose to focus on wanted people belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood (MBH), ex-MBH members, or who were just supporters and sympathizers of them. I analyze their experience of being wanted and the impact of this experience on their social network and their personas. Through the ethnographic findings, I structured each chapter and discuss the demonization of activism through the case of wanted people. Each chapter discusses part of the process of stigmatization of wanted people, in the first two chapters I focus on the cultivation of the politics of fear and the normalization of violence against opponents to show the basis of the stigma. |
