This research network is organized broadly around the question of how cultural productions in the literary and visual representations in the Middle East have attempted to engage with the social dimensions of traumatic histories of war and social conflict in the region. The questions at the heart of this project are: how are these historical and social experiences represented in cultural forms, and how do these representations come to inform social memorialization of these experiences?
