Through the study of participatory workshops that focus on every-day forms of political violence in regime-held Syria post-2011, this PhD proposes to research the ambiguities that arise as part of testimonial practices as a form of resistance. In focusing on concrete examples, this research aims to further theorise the partial and fallible nature of witnessing in relationship to truth and narrative, and the role played by memory and anticipation in registering, making sense of, and recounting new experiences. This practice-led research aims to activate materials gathered during the workshops by developing a performance which will situate the findings in existing work on collective memory andcommunicate the dynamics of testimonial practices to a wider audience. This research will build upon existing scholarship on witnessing and memory studies, and haunting and subjectivity in relationship to ideology and discourse.

通过参与式研讨会，专注于日常形式的政治暴力在政权举行的叙利亚2011年后的研究，这个博士建议研究出现的模糊性，作为一种形式的阻力作证的做法的一部分。在专注于具体的例子，本研究旨在进一步理论化的部分和易犯错误的性质的见证的关系，以真理和叙事，以及记忆和预期中所扮演的角色登记，使意义，并重新叙述新的经验。这种以实践为主导的研究旨在通过开发一种表演来激活在讲习班期间收集的材料，这种表演将在现有的集体记忆工作中发现，并向更广泛的受众传达证明实践的动态。这项研究将建立在现有的见证和记忆的研究，以及在意识形态和话语的关系困扰和主观性的奖学金。
