Media Sosial sebagai Bagian Keseharian: Perspektif Michel de Certeau terhadap Arab Spring di Mesir

Abstract

Abstract: The Arab Spring is one of the events in history that succeeded in changing the political complexion in Middle Eastern countries. This event, which was a series of people's movements in various Middle Eastern countries, succeeded in overthrowing the authoritarian regimes in power. Egypt, as one of the countries that experienced a revolution, did not escape this wave of events. This study aims to find out and prove that the use of social media has become part of the daily lives of Egyptian people, especially since 2011. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods by exploring various sources such as news articles, social media forums and posts, scientific publications, and others. The massive use of social media as a channel for disseminating information during the revolutionary period proves its connection to the daily lives of Egyptian people. In the end, social media plays a role as a tactic used by society to fight strategic domination over them.
