Mubarak spirit on its way to its Creator met with two other spirits: Nasser's and Sadat's. They asked: Poison or bullet? He answered: Facebook. Maria Fahmy As millions in Cairo were calling for regime change, bloggers, rappers and facebook(ers) were articulating their visions of the new order to emerge. These virtual spaces of revolution have been sites for “deliberations” about the meanings of citizenship and rights by a new generation of politically engaged yet marginalized urban youth. I argue that the use of the new social media has not only been central to the rise of discursive communities and social networks, but also to the formation of the new subjectivities of Arab youth, as agents of social change. Are we witnessing the rise of a “revolutionary” virtual public sphere? In this paper I will answer this question by exploring two places in which youth’s desire for new modes of sociability and political expression were enacted under the form of political mobilization and action. I propose a content analysis of women’s blogs in Egypt and Moroccan rap. My goal is to show the limits of the rhetoric of political freedom, as a unique lens to understand the current appraisals in North Africa and the Middle East, by showing how these freedoms have been articulated by young men and women in the realm of 1) “responsible” citizenship and social solidarity; 2) plural identities; 3) ethical economic practices and demands for social welfare. Hence, by stressing regime change in ongoing protests in the Middle East, this generation of revolutionaries is requesting the end of an area in which corrupt local elites seem to be the expression of global capitalist interests and interventions.
