Jessica Winegar’s book project about counter-revolutionary aesthetics and Egypt’s uprising examines how aesthetic forms, judgments, and practices play a central role in both delegitimizing revolutionary movements and in producing everyday right-wing attachments. It is part of her larger scholarly work on art and cultural politics in the Middle East.
