Why are Arabs not free? , authored by: Mustafa Safwan

The Arab movement launched in an unprecedented popular mobilization that mobilized all the stored living energies. But the making of change and the building of the human being are embodied in a real renaissance project. Here, the importance of this work emerges, which reveals the structures of tyranny and analyzes its mechanisms that solidified its pillars, not only politically but socially, culturally, and linguistically. Among the most prominent components of the structures of tyranny that this work addresses is the relationship between language and writing, the powers of tyranny, and what can be called cultural unconsciousness, similar to individual unconsciousness, which reinforces the relationship of tyranny between the ruler and the people. For Safwan, the liberation of the Arab human being from tyranny is complemented by his liberation from the alienation practiced upon him by psychological repressions. Mustafa Safwan is one of the leading psychoanalysts from the Lacanian school. A philosopher and political sociologist committed to the cause of liberating the Arab – Egyptian human being as a model from various forms of political and religious tyranny.
