This is an automatically translated description

The book is devoted to the analysis of the discourse of the January 2011 revolution in Egypt, one of the most striking episodes of the Arab Spring, a wave of mass anti-authoritarian protests that began with the Tunisian revolution of December 2010 and spread across a number of Arab countries.

The main attention is paid to the analysis of the basic narrative and key concepts of revolutionary discourse, the formation, socio-pragmatic aspects of functioning, causes and manifestations of the decline of this particular type of Arab political discourse.

The contribution of other, more stable discourses, primarily religious ones, the influence of traditional Islamic concepts and ideas on the discursive practices and political behaviour of participants in the mass protests of 2011-2014 in Egypt are traced.
