  6. Edward Said & The Question Of Palestine At The Southbank Centre

    12/13/2024

    Edward Said & The Question Of Palestine At The Southbank Centre

    To mark the re-publication of Edward Said’s The Question of Palestine, this landmark event held at the Royal Festival Hall on 20 November gathers eight key authors to reflect on the enduring legacy of Said’s work and its role in the ongoing Palestinian struggle for self-determination. Jehad Abusalim (via video), Tamim Barghouti, Budour Hassan, Saree Makdisi, Max Porter, Jacqueline Rose, Wadie Said, Avi Shlaim and Ahdaf Soueif, hosted by Aimee Shalan, consider what The Question of Palestine has become today, and the painful contradiction that Said himself would observe: that Palestinian gains in international moral and cultural standing since the book’s publication have done nothing to prevent the continuous losses of land and life; and that the establishment of Palestinian histories and narratives in the broader public imagination has led not to equality, but to dehumanisation and death on a scale previously unimaginable. Presented in cooperation with the Palestine Festival of Literature and the Southbank Centre. Edited by Frankie Wells. Music composed by Kwes Darko.

The discussion touches on the physicality of the writing process, telling a story without plot as the structuring principle, making the sensory presence of the world felt in language, and the personal and collective histories that words bear. Recorded at Young Space in September 2024. Edited by Frankie Wells. Music composed by Kwes Darko.

Recorded at Young Space in July 2024. Edited by Frankie Wells. Music composed by Kwes Darko.
