P. auteur aut IRD Hanafi S. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access Since 2010, there has been a proliferation of literature (newspaper articles and scholarly publications) on the recent uprisings in some Arab countries. This article focuses on the way the academic articles have perceived the Arab uprisings and the ways in which we portray them in scientific discourse, taking into account the social forces that come into play in the production of knowledge. In line with Bruno Latour, this study analyzes (1) what knowledge on the Arab uprisings is made of; (2) who produces and who frames the debate (network of authors); (3) semiotic analysis; and (4) quantitative measures of sociological markers,' such as discipline, language, and institutional affiliation. The study is based on a database of around 519 articles (from Web of Science, Scopus, E-Marefa, Cairn) dealing with the Arab uprisings from January 2011 up to now. specialized Arab world citations network analysis revolutions sociology of knowledge PAYS ARABES MOYEN ORIENT AFRIQUE DU NORD TURQUIE 116 124 30 4 418-441 2015 0268-5809 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010064841 10.1177/0268580915580157 0268-5809 [F B010064841] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010064841 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2015/08/010064841.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2015-09-04 2017-08-23 fdi:010064841 fre
