A Cunning Present

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftTidsskriftartikelRådgivning

Scholars have theorised the relationship between revolution and temporality. As Hannah Arendt argued, revolutions are “the only political events which confront us directly and inevitably with the problem of a beginning”. But what happens, as is often the case, when a revolution is experienced as incomplete—as endless? What happens to the experience of time, and to attempts to mediate it through text and image? This short essay considers the works of a young generation of Palestinians from Yarmouk, who theorise and narrativise their experiences during the Syrian revolution.
