Abstract:
Since its inception in 1982, Hezbollah's military arm, “ The Islamic Resistance ", occupied
a public sphere in the Lebanese landscape. As a result of its military successes and its flow of
media discourse, a virtual " Community of Resistance " has emerged after May 2000 to reflect the
existed public sphere and maintain it. This paper examines the notion of mobilisation in "The
Islamic Resistance's" media discourse after May 2000. It bridges the gaps in the existed studies
in this field, because it s eems there is no study has shown the linkage between mobilisation and
Hezbollah's results in the last three Parl iamentary elections in Lebanon.
