This transnational collection of essays, interviews, and creative
pieces on the 1982 Siege of Beirut explores literary
representations of the siege by a diverse set of writers alongside
journalism and other media including film and art. The book
investigates and promotes an awareness of an ethics of
representation on questions of extreme emotional investment,
comparing representations of the siege to representations of other
traumatic events, visiting responses from those of different
cultural backgrounds to the same event and considering implications
with respect to comparative approaches. Chapters explore how
literature, journalism and art contribute to overcoming the dangers
of forgetting and denial, memorial excess and fundamentalism, the
radicalization of violence, and the complete breakdown of trust on
international levels, asking how they challenge geopolitical,
intellectual, and psychological states of siege and instead promote
awareness, acknowledgement, mourning, and justice across divided
communities. The book extends the use of postcolonial methodologies
affiliated with history, international relations, and
psychoanalysis (memory, trauma) to Middle-Eastern studies, and
visits the siege's effect on different forms of memory and
memorialization: selective memory, trauma, gaps and fissures in
historical accounts, recording of eyewitness reports, and artistic
re-imaginings and realizations of alternative archives.
