This paper investigates Mohamed El-Bisatie’s Drumbeat within the framework of Zygmunt Bauman’s Liquid Modernity and his article “Times of Interregnum.” El-Bisatie draws a fictional Gulf state named “Emirate” as a liquid society. Upon being qualified to play in the World Cup, the Emir orders all nationals to travel to France to support the national soccer team. Only foreign workers remain in the Emirate. At this moment, the interregnum takes place.
The paper seeks to find answers to these questions: How does the interregnum reveal a completely different world of foreign workers? How is the sexual repression of the foreign workers transformed into sexual-dysfunction? The paper concludes that the fictional Emirate sucks
