Echo in Search of its Shadow, Aesthetics of the Repressed - Adam HajYahia, Haitham Haddad - diskuze

What aesthetic practices have Palestinians been employing throughout their revolutionary anti-colonial tradition, both historically and in contemporary times? How can we read the performative gestures, image-making techniques, and singing replete inPalestine’s streets as ones embedded within a collective psychosocial and material experience and not as arbitrary isolated events? In An Echo in Search of its Shadow, Aesthetics of the Repressed Adam HajYahia and Haitham Haddad formulate an aesthetic theory of revolt by examining anti-colonial praxis. Unfolding through analysis, image-making, and poetics, HajYahia and Haddad assemble a new framework from which to understand dialectics between the visual and the audial, body and soul, form and content. Instead of the usual approach to aesthetics and politics where aesthetics are practiced and politics are thought, An Echo in Search of Its Shadow urges us to practice politics and think aesthetics.
