Short Description

No English description available. Showing German description:
Dieses Buch widmet sich dem Massaker von Hama im Jahr 1982, das jahrzehntelang zu den stärksten Tabus der syrischen Gesellschaft zählte. Anhand literarischer Darstellungen und Deutungszuschreibungen werden Formen des Schweigens, Erinnerns und Erzählens im Zusammenhang mit dem Massaker analysiert. Die Untersuchung zeigt, wie eng der Kampf um Deutungshoheit über dieses Massaker mit der Aushandlung von Machtstrukturen unter dem Assad-Regime verbunden war und inwiefern literarische Stimmen im Kontext staatlich verordneten Schweigens alternative Erinnerungsräume eröffnen können. Die Studie bezieht bisher wenig sichtbare Perspektiven ein, indem sie die Analyse literarischer Werke mit Interviews mit Zeitzeug:innen verbindet, und leistet so einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Dynamiken von Erinnerung und Schweigen in autoritären Systemen sowie der Rolle von Kunst und Literatur in Prozessen der Aufarbeitung und Transitional Justice.

Series Description

Literatures in Context is a peer-reviewed book series devoted to Near Eastern and North African literatures. The editors want the title of the series to be understood programmatically. They presuppose a concept of world literature that includes Near Eastern and North African literatures. What is more, they assume that literatures are in many ways marked by intertextuality, that they constitute readings of extremely diverse earlier texts, and that they are posited within a field of tensions, much broader than their respective national language. For the earlier eras of Near Eastern and North African literatures, this field of tensions geographically covers the regions of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor. In modern times, it has become a space of interaction that has long since included “global” Western literatures (and realities). This does not imply that the modern Near Eastern and North African literatures have severed themselves from their predecessors. Instead it is precisely the tension between different sets of references in modern Near Eastern and North African literatures, or their “local historical context”, which is a great part of their attraction, that remains a crucial field of research for the modern scholar.
