The shift in public interest in television has been widely acknowledged and interpreted within an institutional context as a victory of the neo-liberal entrepreneurship of a new, agile brand over the government inefficiency of Lebanon's national station, Télé Liban. Yet, the role of the Lebanese Civil War in reshaping national television and broadcasting in Arab media following the emergence of the Lebanese Broadcasting Company in 1985 has been unexplored. Based on empirical data and grounded in theory by Arab and global researchers, "Pretty Liar" offers textual analyses of five Lebanese fictional series, three major and several additional periodicals, and nine literary works, and provides context from unscripted interviews with television administrators, anchors, actors, and freelance contributors, print journalists, and audience members. Khazaal seeks to offer new insight into how entertainment television became a site for politics and political resistance, feminism, and the cradle for post-war Lebanon due to the shift in practices and standards of legitimacy. The history of television in Lebanon is not merely the history of technology and business, Khazaal argues, but rather the history of a people and their continuing quest for a responsive television even during times of civil unrest. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on November 29, 2018). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Téle Liban. 610 20 Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International. 647 7 Lebanese Civil War|c(Lebanon :|d1975-1990)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1352309 648 7 1975-1990|2fast 650 0 Television broadcasting|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85133500|zLebanon.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79090014-781 650 0 Television and politics|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85133490|zLebanon.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79090014-781 650 0 Mass media and language|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85081882|zLebanon.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79090014-781 650 0 Sex role on television.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85120670 650 7 Television broadcasting.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1146714 650 7 Television and politics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1146689 650 7 Mass media and language.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1011351 650 7 Sex role on television.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1114658 651 0 Lebanon|xHistory|yCivil War, 1975-1990|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85075636|xTelevision and the war. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008979 651 7 Lebanon.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206063 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aKhazaal, Natalie.|tPretty liar.|bFirst edition.|dSyracuse, New York : Syracuse University Press, 2018|z9780815635956|w(DLC) 2018040341 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1814847|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
