SUMMARY:Book Talk: Dust That Never Settles: Literary Afterlives of the Iran-Iraq War
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about Dr. Amir Moosavi’s recently published book Dust That Never Settles: Literary Afterlives of the Iran-Iraq War. The book is the first comparative study of Arabic and Persian literature from the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). It traces the ways in which writers from both countries have wrestled with state-sponsored narratives of war from 1980 until the present moment\, transforming war literature from propaganda to narratives of resistance against authoritarian regimes\, their legacies\, and their present politics. \nSpeakers: \nAmir Moosavi (Rutgers-Newark) \nFatemeh Shams (University of Pennsylvania) \nKhaled Al Hilli (New York University) \nZahra Ali (Rutgers-Newark)

SUMMARY:An Epic of Martyrs: Revolutionary Images and Muslim Mythologies in 1960s Iraq
DESCRIPTION:In the immediate aftermath of the 1963 Iraqi Ba’ath Party-led coup d’état of the Republic of Iraq and assassination of its democratically elected Prime Minister\, Abd al-Karim Qasim\, several prominent artists began producing new artworks and public art exhibitions. Iraqi artists drew upon transnational anticolonial symbols and common motifs of the heroic worker\, farmer\, and revolutionary to visualize collective solidarity and resistance against the new regime. Yet these new artistic activities also began incorporating representations and materials drawn specifically from Islamic religious traditions. The activation of historically religious content into contemporary artworks reveals how anti-authoritarian political resistance increasingly comingled with new heroic mythologies in the 1960s Islamic World. \nWith Elizabeth Rauh\, American University of Cairo
