Abstract

This is the 3rd article in a tripartite series on the construction of social and political other in the discourse of the Arab Spring in Egypt. The article discusses the functional aspects of the concept of FULŪL, focusing on its role in negotiating the new social boundaries between REVOLUTIONARIES and their opponents. These boundaries are being established through actions directed against FULŪL (exclusion, marginalization, moral diminishing), the messages that REVOLUTIONARIES address to FULŪL, and their counteractions, particularly argumentative strategies that FULŪL apply for self-justification or undermining the logic of their opponents. The article summarizes key findings of the series regarding the significance of this new concept of the Egyptian political discourse for understanding the Egyptian Arab Spring as a sociopolitical phenomenon.
