| Abstract

Over 18 days in January and February 2011, millions of Egyptians streamed into Tahrir Square. They cheered, camped, prayed together, formed barricades together, held off security forces together, convulsed together at Mubarak’s televised reluctance to step down, and celebrated in unison with the rest of the masses across Egypt’s cities upon his fall. Egyptians transformed Tahrir Square into a liminal space dissolving traditional boundaries and rejecting the status quo’s taken-for-granted norms and order, entering a contradictory and profoundly unsettling journey of possibilities. The 2011 Revolution was followed by another, 2 years later, on June 30, 2013, resulting from the political failures of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. On June 8, 2014, Egypt celebrated the inauguration of its new President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi with the widespread acceptance of the 2013 Revolution as the necessary and corrective antidote to the well-intended, but misguided, 2011 Revolution. Applying critical discourse analysis to diverse data types, including videos, poetry, music, print, cartoons, slogans, petitions, speeches, news broadcasts, satire programs, political campaigns, speeches, and legal documents, created unique insight in investigating the transformational path of Egypt’s Revolution. By interrogating social practices and the changing nature of how meaning and identities are realized and represented, the methodological approach contributes to understanding the moment of unbound possibilities that was Tahrir to the inexorable election of Sisi to Egypt’s presidency in 2014. Today, resurgent nationalism offers an analytical lens to understanding a state’s transformational path. In times of crisis, how citizens of a state identify as a people with common bonds, shared experiences, and special attachments to the past can play out on an existential canvas with distinct and competitive future visions. Whoever can ignite the historical link to the land, its people, and history while credibly creating a shared future enshrined in dignity, social justice, and national sovereignty will find popular purchase. For Egypt, Tahrir Square and the subsequent unfolding of events may be understood as the contested cultural terrain in the ongoing re-imagination of Egyptian identity and nationalism. This study's transdisciplinary approach can benefit researchers of nationalism, identity formation, political transitions, and inter- and intra-state hegemonic relations.
