In chapter 6, I showed how hybridity was used by a female dissident across media in 2015 in order to articulate different aspects of her dissident identity in a complex sociopolitical context, characterized by the advancement of radical Islamic factions. I analyzed her practices through the notions of language choice in Arabic and “synchronicity”. I illustrate how Layla uses both the Syrian vernacular and fuṣḥā to project a secular identity and to articulate a pragmatic political alignment with a radical Islamic group. Whereas the Syrian vernacular is used in connection with an index of authenticity, namely the variety that represents the Syrian people, fuṣḥā is used symbolically by Layla in order to legitimize her 2015 political alignment with the Islamic group. The analysis of Layla’s practices corroborates previous findings on Arabic and gender in Arabic, according to which women use both fuṣḥā and the vernacular in order to project determined identities.
