ABSTRACT
This article will discuss the manifestation of the Arab Spring in Arab literature and sheds light on what has become known as “Video Clips Poems” or “Flash Poems” on YouTube. We shall attempt to answer a number of questions concerning Arab Spring literature in general and the video clips in particular: What role did this literature plays in the political transformations witnessed by the Arab world in recent years? What are the means it used in order to inflame the masses? What are the features of the Arab Spring video clips as a new genre different from printed genres? Will the Arab Spring continue to be a literary theme after the end of these uprisings? These clips possess rich and dense semantics content and meaning as it will be shown in this article.
