Heralding a new period of creativity, In the Wake of the Poetic
explores the aesthetics and politics of Palestinian cultural
expression in the last two decades. As it increasingly gains a
significant presence on the international scene, much of
Palestinian art owes a debt to Mahmoud Darwish, one of the finest
contemporary poets, and to Palestinian writers of his generation.
Rahman maps the immense influence of Darwish's poetry on a new
generation of performance artists, visual artists, spoken-word
poets, and musicians. Through an examination of selected works by
key artists-such as Suheir Hammad, Ghassan Zaqtan, Elia Suleiman,
Mona Hatoum, Sharif Waked, and others-Rahman articulates an
aesthetic founded on loss, dispersion, dispossession, and
transformation. It interrupts dominant regimes, constituting acts
of dissension and intervention. It reinscribes belonging and is
oriented toward solidarity and future. This innovative wave of
experimentation transforms our understanding of the national
through the diasporic and the transnational, and offers a profound
meditation on identity.
