Zusammenfassung

Who is the rebel in the Middle East and North Africa? Translating the 'rebel' in the Arab spring context bears lexical and semantic difficulties, but, most of all, it requires to guard oneself from western liberal bias. Discussing different notions of 'the rebel' and related Arabic terms such as thāʾir and mutamarrid, this article introduces META issue #6 on 'The Rebel'.
