APPENDIX 3

PERSONAL RESEARCH GOALS

BOOK ON THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION

I experienced the Egyptian Revolution first-hand, from its inception in January 2011 until my departure in August of that year. I was not a participant but many of my students, friends, and colleagues were This is an advantage in that I have many eyewitness accounts, interview records, photographs, and media account of events. In addition, I also gained as an intimate sense of the feel of the city and the aspirations of many participants.

Much of spring semester AUC teaching came to focus on the revolution. Censorship and self-censorship fears were gone and stories came pouring out from all directions about people’s experiences under the Mubarak regime. I proposed to my core team of 10 Egyptian students, with whom I had worked very closely, that we do a publication based on their understanding of what was happening. Each student wrote essays on what they saw as the causes of the revolution, what happened to them at Tahrir Square and during first three months of the unfolding events, and what kind of Egypt they wanted to see emerge.

Those essays were published in booklet form with the title “How We See the Revolution” on May 1.

Following on that initiative, the A-Team, as we called ourselves, organized a 100-person conference in mid May on the theme “Is the Arab World Going Democratic?” It included students from Cairo University, Helwan University, Ain Shams University, Menoufiya University in the Delta, the British University in Egypt, the Egyptian International University, and the Ramses Girls’ College. Also included were participants from Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan, and Syria. The open-floor town-meeting-style discussion centered on authoritarianism versus democracy, the processes of democratization in other societies, the advantages and disadvantages of democracy, addressing the issue of corruption, holding free and fair elections, curtailing the power of the security services, the importance of legitimacy and the writing of new constitutions, and what role individuals could play in such changes. Five 90-minute videos of these sessions, mostly in Arabic, were posted on the web.

In addition, I led the A-Team through a series of extracurricular discussions on key features of democracies, main elements of constitutions, how corruption has been dealt with in other countries, the concepts of flawed and full democracies, the long process democratization, and why not to idealize democracy. We also discussed the American, French, Russian, Turkish, and Iranian Revolutions.

Out of these beginnings have come to date about 2,000 pages of research records, a 4-person Egyptian team reporting everyday from Egypt, and a book outline (see Appendix 4). To date, the research team has produced more than 60 reports on many facets of the changes. One team member is documenting every corruption trial, another team member is seeking to document every demonstration and protest for the 10 years prior to the revolution, another is documenting all the new political parties (above 50 so far), and another is covering the trial of Mubarak.

Our project revolves around three questions: what caused this revolution; how the revolution unfolded, including how and why its opposition acted against it; and how the revolution changes, or fails to change, Egyptian government and society. The third question – long-term changes or failures to change – will be the key question of the work. What will the changed Egypt be like?

We plan to continue our research effort until the shape of those changes can be seen. Mubarak is deposed and his trial is on-going. Parliamentary elections start on November 28 and continue for six weeks. An ill-defined constitution-writing process starts thereafter with the announced intention of writing a new constitution, not amending the old one. After that, presidential elections will occur, probably in 2013, with already 15 announced candidates. When these processes are completed, we will make our first assessment as to when we draw the line on the research and produce the written report. The current thinking is that the research period will continue probably into 2014, with the written account emerging in 2015.

BOOK ON THE MAKING OF TROBRIAND CRICKET

Many people have urged me to write up the story of Trobriand Cricket, but I have so far resisted. Having now changed my mind, I want to write a short book as a companion to classroom screenings, for classes in making field documentaries, and to preserve a full record of the project, not all of which is in the film.

The first of the book’s essays is already out, “Structure and Message in Trobriand Cricket,” which is about the message content of the film and how it was put into the film. A second essay will be about the many purposes that the stake-holders and participants attached to the project and how those purposes played out after the film was over. A third essay will be about the many problems that had to be solved in making the film as well as the financing and distribution issues associated with the project over its 35-year history. A fourth essay will be about the audience reaction to the film – on the Trobriands, in Papua New Guinea, in Britain, in Australia, in the US, in the community of film-makers, and within the field of anthropology. A fifth essay will be a semiotic analysis of the chants accompanying cricket dances. A sixth essay will be about cultural syncretism. A seventh and final essay will be about what has happened to the game of Trobriand cricket since the film was made.

The Egypt book will take precedent over the cricket book. I will write certain essays over the next three or so years and then finish the book after the Egypt work is done.

BOOK ON AMERICAN SOCIETY, WRITTEN ESPECIALLY FOR NON-AMERICANS

I have lived outside the US for 19 years and taught for 16 of those years. Thousands of people have asked me questions about American society, usually arising from things they could not understand and had no one around them that they could ask. Some of these questions I could handle and some I couldn’t. Years ago I started searching for a book that would contain answers, at least insight, into most of these questions. I don’t think such a book has been written, though scattered texts exist that tackle a few of the issues. Most American histories are far too long and assume a great deal of prior knowledge about American society. Most foreigners won’t touch them and are bewildered if they do.

A few of these questions are: what do Americans mean by freedom? how did the central concept of American society come to be freedom? how did Americans get their rights and how do they keep from having them taken away? do Jews control America? why are Americans such strong supporters of free market economies? is everybody sexually free? how did sexual freedom come about? why do Americans have such “thin” kinship systems? why do children leave their parents so early? why is American society so violent? how is that Americans claim to be so religious and yet religion seems to be getting weaker and weaker? and hundreds more.

I took these issues up thematically in my AUC course “What is America?” I produced a 250-page course book at AUC. I want to turn that into a proper manuscript at some point in the future.
