• W1499615423 abstract "AbstractThis paper presents the events of the Overthrow the Sectarian System (OSS) campaign in Lebanon in 2011. These protests revealed new forces in Lebanese politics worth examining. To capture the phenomenon thoroughly, references to civil society sectors in Lebanon are made. The first part deals with the problem of sectarianism: its mechanisms and social repercussions, with an emphasis on secularism and the way it's perceived by civil society activists. The second part describes the history of civil movement in Lebanon as the context of the campaign's conception and development. Finally, the events of the OSS campaign are analysed.In 2011 Lebanon stood out as a seemingly calm island against the tumultuous protests that had shaken many Arab countries. However, echoes of the Arab revolution in Tunisia and Egypt resonated within Lebanese society quite deeply. The purpose of presenting the movement's structure, objectives and ideology is to revise the common view that the Lebanese did not feel the spirit of the Arab revolutions. It also hopes to show grassroot forces stepping out and aiming at participating in the Middle Eastern political reality, as an important consequence of Arab mass protests and their achievements. The main point is that the Arab protests brought the chance to express issues that were ignored or treated as marginal, sometimes even by the protesters' own agenda. Whether these voices will create new and effective political forces still remains an open question. There is a general view that the wave of violent protests that stirred Arab countries in 2011 has left Lebanon relatively calm and indifferent. However, the Lebanese seized their moment and picked up their own fight against sectarian systems, revealing a plethora of nuclei of social resistance. The main objective of the article is to present the antisectarian campaign and organizations participating in it, its context and evolution and forms in which it is continued up to this day.These new groups did not come out of nowhere, they have a longer political history and quite a precise social context, worth a closer insight. In the Lebanese case they came out representing a reformulated vision of the Lebanese state and culture and a concept of remodeled national identity, in which sectarianism is being replaced with civic ideals. It is not a completely new idea for the Lebanese, but as the paper will show, it carries some new features. An underlying presumption of the paper is that sectarianism is a socially and historically determined construct. Following this presumption, the paper will attempt to consider whether sectarianism is being reformulated and used for political purposes by secular activists to achieve certain political goals. In consequence, the case of the actual place of sectarianism in Lebanese national culture will be raised.The antisectarian campaign, officially called Overthrow the Sectarian System (OSS, sometimes antisectarian movement, in Arabic: Isqat an-Nizam at-Taifiya) was launched as a unified campaign in February 2011. However, it is not a new trend. The necessity of abolishing sectarian systems in Lebanon is one of the most important issues since the end of the civil war. The tremendous effect such reform would have on the Lebanese state, political elites and society in general, however, does not contribute to it being viewed as of particularly high priority, and as a result it may only become a subject of political rhetoric. Many enstranged Lebanese young people reorganize around antisectarian ideas as tools of mobilisation and channeling frustrations, viewing the abolishment of sectarian systems as a remedy for all Lebanese problems. The problem of sectarianism is of great importance in the Middle Eastern region nowadays. Both, sectarian and antisectarian discourses can become objects of political manipulation and social reformulation used for the political objectives of certain disadvantaged groups. …" @default.
