  Disinformation in the Middle East

  Special issue of "Open Information Science"

  Similar to other regions around the world, the Middle East has witnessed the widespread of misinformation in relation to different issues like politics, health, and armed conflicts. This is, indeed, not a recent phenomenon as the region has been plagued by infodemics for many decades. Recent reports and data releases by Facebook and Twitter show that there are several systematic and coordinated activities that occur in the Middle East in order to support regional players like Saudi Arabia and the UAE in enhancing their political influence in the region. There is a need to study infodemics in some specific geographical contexts like the Middle East due to the evolving nature of this phenomenon, and this special issue is focused on the examination of recent case studies involving the spread of misinformation and disinformation.

  Production and circulation of cultural assets: the case of Middle Eastern and North African countries

  Il s’agit de favoriser la création d’un réseau international de chercheurs et de professionnels pour initier, développer et diffuser des travaux sur les productions culturelles et médiatiques (cinéma, informations, livres, programmes télévisés, séries, etc.) dans les pays du Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord. Son objectif est de saisir leurs enjeux sociaux, économiques, politiques et culturels en se focalisant sur les spécificités des espaces nationaux et les processus de circulation des productions et des pratiques. En dépit de leur importance, les biens culturels dans la région MENA (Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord) restent relativement peu traités par les sciences humaines et sociales.
