The Memory of Now, The Forgetfulness of None: On the Politics of Space and Time in Palestinian Literature in Relation to Gaza Today.
A talk by Dirar Kalash, organized by Sarmad Platform in Rotterdam on 10 April 2024.
The talk reads the current conditions in Gaza under the light of "Memory of Forgetfulness" by Mahmoud Darwish, with a focus on the concept of time (history) and space (geography) and their position in the process of knowledge production on the current situation in Palestine in particular, not only as a theory, but also as a consciousness, taking off from a multi-layered reading of Memory for Forgetfulness; analysing possible relationships among lived experience, the writing of history, event, and language – from writing the Nakba from a sonic and aural perspective, and through the transformations of time and space in Palestine.
