Gaza Scholars Speak Out on Scholasticide and Higher Education x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Elias Khoury (1948–2024), we will miss your incredible presence, voice, and words. Born and died in times of genocide... you have so much to teach us, in both life and death. open.spotify.com/episode/0Sp5gx… #EliasKhoury
In 1948, Israel destroyed, plundered, and ruptured most of the Palestinian cultural sphere. To retrace and revive Palestine's literary landscape before the Nakba, Ibrahim Mahfouz Abdou and @RefqaPalREAD study the periodicals of the time period: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

The foundations for #scholasticide were laid down well before the Nakba of 1948... Thank you @MakdisiStreet and @mayaywind for this important conversation

@RefqaPalREAD If you want to learn about Palestinian literature, literary figures, and literary history more broadly, we'd highly recommend browsing @RefqaPalREAD's site @PalREAD_ERC which is an @ERC_Research project. 🔗countryofwords.org
Do you know anything about Palestinian Prison Literature? We wrote an article about the genre, its history and key figures inspired by our conversation with @RefqaPalREAD 🍉 Read now📌afikra.com/blog/palestine… Image: Tawfiq Zayyad via Palestian Museum Archive
Palestinian poetry is not only poetry for times of crisis. It is poetry for all time. It is another form of injustice to approach it as an extension or symptom of tragedy or even worse as merely a token of sympathy and solidarity asymptotejournal.com/blog/2024/04/0…
