Revolution in its Narratives; A Critical Study of Post-Revolutionary Narratives of Revolutions in the Middle East

这个研究项目质疑代表中东革命的非现实主义小说的兴起，从1967年战争后的时代，直到后阿拉伯之春。我感兴趣的是，这些叙事如何以不同的方式转向非现实主义的文学形式，以应对新自由主义化日益增加的压力，这种压力使个人与集体的关系问题化，通过这种关系，抵抗发生了-无论是政治上还是美学上。这个项目本身处于后殖民研究和世界文学新兴理论的交叉点，涉及这些小说在不同国家和历史时期的结构可比性。

This research project interrogates the rise of irrealistic novels representing revolutions in the Middle East, from the era after the 1967 war until the post-Arab Spring present. I'm interested in how these narratives turn in diverse ways to irrealistic literary forms to respondto the increasing pressures of neoliberalisation that problematise individuals' relations with the collectivities through which resistance takes place - both politically and aesthetically. This project situates itself at the intersection of post-colonial studies and emergent theories of world literature dealing with the structural comparability of these novels written in different national and historical moments.
