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

这项研究项目询问了从1967年战争后到后阿拉伯之春时期，代表中东革命的非现实主义小说的兴起。我感兴趣的是，这些叙事如何以不同的方式转变为不切实际的文学形式，以应对新自由主义日益增长的压力，新自由主义使个人与集体的关系出现问题，通过集体进行抵抗--无论是政治上的还是审美上的。这个项目位于后殖民研究和新兴的世界文学理论的交汇点上，处理这些在不同国家和历史时刻写成的小说在结构上的相似性。

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.
