Two special issues of Ethnographic Studies on 'Media, Wars and Identities'.

Baudouin Dupret, Jiri Nekvapil, Ivan Leudar, eds. (2007) "Media, wars and identities: Broadcasting Islam, Muslims and the Middle East" - Part One. Ethnographic Studies, No 9

Dupret, Baudouin, Jiri Nekvapil, Ivan Leudar, eds. (2008) "Media, Wars and Identities" - Part Two. Ethnographic Studies, No 10

The contributions to this two-part issue of Ethnographic Studies focus on the practices of public discourse pertinent to conflicts and identities in the Arab and Muslim world. They all take an ethnomethodological stance, which reveals the illusionary character of any ‘culturalist’ interpretation of conflicts related to the Middle-East and Islam of the kind proposed, for example, by Huntington. They instead point to the close association of the categorization processes, the audiences toward which speeches are oriented, and the media used.
