SUMMARY:Static Forms: Writing the Present in the Modern Middle East\,
DESCRIPTION:The UW’s Middle East Center invites you to a book talk and discussion by Shir Alon\, visiting from the University of Minnesota. In Static Forms: Writing the Present in the Modern Middle East\, Shir Alon develops an alternative model for reading Arabic and Hebrew literatures\, as two literary systems sharing a remarkably similar narrative of modernization and developing parallel literary forms to address it. In this talk\, Alon will discuss the potentials of a paradigm grounded in formal and affective analysis for new understandings of transnational modernism\, Middle Eastern literatures\, and comparative literary studies at large. She will also explore the limits of this approach\, when parallel readings of Hebrew and Arabic literatures obfuscate rather than clarify the conditions of the present. \nShir Alon | On not sharing a present tense: Reading Arabic and Hebrew Literatures together \nFriday\, February 6 \n1-3pm \nDenny 211 \nMore info: https://jsis.washington.edu/middleeast/events/?trumbaEmbed=eventid%3D192847224%26seotitle%3DOn-not-sharing-a-present-tense-Reading-Arabic-and-Hebrew-Literatures-together%26view%3Devent%26-childview%3D
