Egyptian Youth in Urban and Virtual Spaces

Explore the dynamics of Egyptian youth in urban and virtual spaces through the lens of anthropology, focusing on cultural constructions, cosmopolitanism, new movements, and decentralized leadership structures. Discover how social media plays a crucial role in facilitating communication and engagement among youth, transcending ideological boundaries and drawing in new participants. Gain insights into the ways virtual and urban spaces intersect to foster creativity, identity exploration, and community building. This study, based on fieldwork in Egypt, offers a unique perspective on the evolution of youth culture in the Middle East.
