Book Synopsis Pretty Liar by : Natalie Khazaal
Download or read book Pretty Liar written by Natalie Khazaal. This book was released on 2018-11-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a new, irresistible brand of television emerge from the Lebanese Civil War (1975–91) to conquer the Arab region in the satellite era? What role did seductive news anchors, cool language teachers, superheroes, and gossip magazines play in negotiating a modern relationship between television and audiences? How did the government lose its television monopoly to sectarian militias? Pretty Liar tells the untold story of the coevolution of Lebanese television and its audience, and the ways in which the Civil War of 1975–91 influenced that transformation. Based on empirical data, Khazaal explores the rise of language and gender politics in Lebanese television and the storm of controversy during which these issues became a referendum on television’s relevance. This groundbreaking book challenges the narrow focus on present-day satellite television and social media, offering the first account of how broadcast television transformed media legitimacy in the Arab world. With its analysis of news, entertainment, and educational shows from Télé Liban and LBC, novels, periodicals, and popular culture, Pretty Liar demonstrates how television became a site for politics and political resistance, feminism, and the cradle of the postwar Lebanese culture. The history of television in Lebanon is not merely a record of corporate technology but the saga of a people and their continuing demand for responsive media during times of civil unrest.

Book Synopsis Television in Lebanon, Like Father Like Son by : Nasser Nazar Chour
Download or read book Television in Lebanon, Like Father Like Son written by Nasser Nazar Chour. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instead of playing a positive role in creating a national identity, Television in Lebanon is contributing to widening the gap that already exists among the Lebanese. The government today, as a result of the implementation of the 1994 audiovisual law, controls television. The distribution of broadcasting licenses resembles the distribution of governmental posts among sectarian leaders. This research is an attempt to examine the factors that led to the current TV situation in Lebanon, which is a reflection of the Lebanese political system.--The plan of this study is to review the development of television in Lebanon since its 'birth' until today. In addition to the historical background, the initial problems facing this medium, and the war years1 effect on Lebanese television, chapter two also provides a detailed analysis of the articles of the Lebanese audiovisual law of 1994, its implementation, and the outcome of its application on the Lebanese audience. Chapter three includes two descriptive research projects. The first project monitors and analysis the news coverage on five Lebanese television stations and the second project analysis the programs aired on three stations over a period of one week. Finally, chapter four presents conclusions based on the findings of chapters two and three and describes the current television situation in Lebanon.

Book Synopsis Lebanon by : Paul Doyle
Download or read book Lebanon written by Paul Doyle. This book was released on 2023-04-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt’s Lebanon remains the only English-language guide dedicated to the smallest country on the Asian continent. Comprehensively updated throughout to reflect recent economic, political and social changes, it includes revised and new listings for hotels, restaurants, and what to see and do, catering for all types of travellers and budgets. Although only half the size of Wales, Lebanon offers extraordinary diversity. Some of the world’s oldest human settlements, including the Phoenician ports of Tyre and Byblos – two of Lebanon’s five World Heritage sites – sit alongside modern Beirut. The absorbing capital is popular for its world-renowned cuisine, eclectic nightlife, mosaic of peoples and kaleidoscope of religions. In Lebanon's second city, Tripoli, busy medieval souks are watched over by a vast Crusader castle. Nearby, snow-capped mountains and the lush Qadisha Valley with its snaking river and waterfalls provide entertainment for skiers and hikers (the latter also well served by the Lebanon Mountain Trail, which runs virtually the length of the country). Three hundred days of sunshine per year makes Lebanon a ‘go anytime’ destination, with the Mediterranean coastline particularly drawing sun-seekers and watersports enthusiasts. Wildlife-lovers can enjoy Shouf Biosphere Reserve (with its famed cedar trees, the national emblem) and the Aammiq Wetlands, while Lebanon has become a major destination for religious tourism, and vinophiles can visit numerous Bekaa Valley wineries of international repute. Bradt's Lebanon offers detailed coverage of areas ignored by other guides, particularly the country’s south, as well as more extensive cultural and practical information. New for this edition are specialist features on aspects of Lebanese cultural life, additional background information, updates on work to rebuild Beirut following the 2020 explosion, extended and revised coverage of the Aammiq Wetlands, new and updated maps, and new visitor attractions including the MIM mineral museum and the Middle East’s first chocolate museum, both in Beirut. With a comprehensive language appendix covering both Arabic and French, detailed historical and religious background that helps visitors travel with awareness and sensitivity, and in-depth travel information, Bradt's Lebanon is an indispensable practical companion to visiting this excitingly varied country.
