| dc.description.abstract | Utopian theory and rhetoric has influenced politics in Egypt since Free Officers Revolution. This study first analyzes utopian theory and rhetoric and the Arabic words for. Utopia, then analyzes the philosophies and speeches of Egyptian presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak. The Utopian theory and rhetoric of those presidents are juxtaposed with the utopian theory found within Naguib Mathouz', Arabian Nights and Days and Ahmed Khaled Towfik's Utopia. Utopian theory and rhetoric is also exhibited in the 2011 Revolution and has serious implications for the political situation in Egypt. | |
