The upsurge in citizen’s rights campaigns across the Middle East since the start of the Arab Spring in 2011 have focused media and scholarly attention on the role of social media in facilitating processes of social change (Dabashi, 2012; Noueihed & Warren, 2012), referred to as technological determinism (Harrison & Hirst, 2007; Vince & Earnshaw, 1999), or alternately, to the role of human agency in bringing about social change . However, the Arab Spring has also highlighted the role of women in the new social movements and revived feminist debate over the primacy of women’s rights versus citizenship rights in processes of social transformation (Naib, 2011; Wolf, 2011). The case of women's online activism in Lebanon offers new insights into both the technology and social change debate and the women’s rights versus citizenship rights debate. This paper presents the findings of the research project “Social Media, Social Movements, Social Change: The Case of the Lebanese Women’s Movement” and asks: is women’s online activism a new wave of Lebanese feminism? In order to answer this question, the paper considers the history of the Lebanese women’s movement and considers recent online campaigns for women's nationality rights, the reform of personal status codes, civil marriage and the importance of secularism in contemporary women’s rights discourses in Lebanon. The paper concludes with some reflections on the possibility of a revolution postponed by the deteriorating security situation in Lebanon. Bibliography Dabashi, H. (2012).
