SUMMARY:Semitiska seminariet & CMES: The Publics of Syrian Prison Narrative
 s After 2011.
DESCRIPTION:Contact: maria.persson@mellost.lu.se\n\nThis talk explores thre
 e cases in the diverse lives of Syrian prison narrative practices between 
 2011 and 2024. Following a brief introduction to the genre of Syrian priso
 n literature\, which was well-established before the uprising of 2011 bega
 n\, the lecture demonstrates how Syrian prison narrators living outside th
 e country\, including survivors\, activists\, artists\, and family members
  of the disappeared\, crafted the act of bearing witness to carceral viole
 nce to gain new audiences and to achieve new\, distinctive political ends.
  Rather than focus on the content of prison testimony\, this lecture asks\
 , what did Syrian prison narrators imagine and use their testimonies&nbsp\
 ;for?&nbsp\;It touches on&nbsp\;answers including forensic analyses of the
  Assad regime\; the conversion of non-elite\, non-politicized listeners to
  the prison cause\; and the affirmation of the revolution\, despite years 
 of war and defeat\, as an unfolding political event.&nbsp\;About: Anne-Mar
