SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Talk: “A Continuous ‘Nakba’: Palestinians in Israeli Literature” by Elias Khoury"
DESCRIPTION:"\rPart of the CAS/MillerComm Lecture Series\r\r‘Nakba,’ catastrophe, commonly refers to the massive exodus of Palestinians after the formation of Israel in 1948. In Elias Khoury’s account, Nakba does not refer to a historical moment. Rather, he considers it to be is a process that began in 1948 and is perpetuated in literary depictions of Palestinians.\r\rOne of the most influential voices of contemporary Arab literature for more than four decades, Elias Khoury has been writing from a liminal position in his residence in Beirut, exiled in his own home. The protagonists in his novels navigate the fugitive boundaries of violence, displacement, lust, and longing.\r\rThe CAS/MillerComm public events series brings to campus people who offer unique cross-disciplinary contributions to the intellectual and cultural life of the university.\r\rThis Center for Advanced Study event is hosted by the Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in conjunction with the Center for Global Studies, Center for Translation Studies, Department of Comparative and World Literature, Department of English, Department of History, Spurlock Museum, and the Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory.\r\r"
