SUMMARY:CANCELLED –  Semitiska seminariet & CMES: The Publics of Syrian P
 rison Narratives After 2011.
DESCRIPTION:Contact: maria.persson@mellost.lu.se\n\n&nbsp\;CANCELLED - This
  talk explores three cases in the diverse lives of Syrian prison narrative
  practices between 2011 and 2024. Following a brief introduction to the ge
 nre of Syrian prison literature\, which was well-established before the up
 rising of 2011 began\, the lecture demonstrates how Syrian prison narrator
 s living outside the country\, including survivors\, activists\, artists\,
  and family members of the disappeared\, crafted the act of bearing witnes
 s to carceral violence to gain new audiences and to achieve new\, distinct
 ive political ends. Rather than focus on the content of prison testimony\,
  this lecture asks\, what did Syrian prison narrators imagine and use thei
 r testimonies&nbsp\;for?&nbsp\;It touches on&nbsp\;answers including foren
 sic analyses of the Assad regime\; the conversion of non-elite\, non-polit
 icized listeners to the prison cause\; and the affirmation of the revoluti
 on\, despite years of war and defeat\, as an unfolding political event.&nb
