Part of the Possibilities of Palestinian Refusal: Against Disciplining Knowledge and Movement Speaking Series
Thursday, February 6, 2025 4:00pm-6:00pm | Cervantes Velasquez Room, Bay Tree Bldg, 420 Hagar Dr, Santa Cruz, CA
Taking as my point of departure Edward Said’s 1984 essay, “Permission to Narrate,” this presentation will explore the narrative potentials of technomediated spaces as sites of refusal, untethered to Zionist narrative hegemony. Centering her analysis on the 2020 virtual Palestine Writes Literature Festival, Dr. Sharif’s research seeks to advance a theory of digitalpoetics that invite Palestinian sociality that while rooted in indigeneity and the land of Palestine, activates Palestine into the world through the technomediated.
