In this ongoing publication project, I am dealing with the authors of colloquial poetry that arose in the course of the Egyptian revolution in 2011. It has evolved on the basis of Egyptian-language poetry in the mid- 20th century. The social and political content dealt with in this poem as well as its linguistic implementation and its reception are of particular interest. Religious statements and their analysis against the background of the dynamics of the “Arab Spring” play a significant role. The manuscript is currently being finalised.
