The Memory of Now, the Forgetfulness of None: On the Politics of Space and Time in Palestinian Literature
Join Dirar Kalash for a reading session and discussion of Memory for Forgetfulness by Mahmoud Darwish.
The session will focus on the concepts of time (history) and space (geography) and their position in the process of knowledge production on the current situation in Palestine in particular, not only as a theory, but also as a consciousness, taking off from a multi-layered reading of Memory for Forgetfulness. It will analyse possible relationships among lived experience, the writing of history, event and language – from writing the Nakba from a sonic and aural perspective, through the transformations of time and space in Palestine.
This event is co-presented with The Mosaic Rooms and Maqam Books مقام, and hosted in collaboration with SPACE FOR SWANA.
