Using a wide array of texts and sources, both Arab and non-Arab, the book engages affect theory to show how a poetics of disappointment, despair and distrust, to dignity, solidarity and reconfigured senses of the sacred, offered a way for the left to reclaim ethical and progressive ‘radical’ values co-opted by political leaders and extremists in the Middle East. In so doing, the book offers an original conceptual framework for differentiating ‘radicalization’ from the creative radicalism of the Arab avant-garde.
Caroline Rooney is Professor of African and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Kent. From 2009-2016, she held Global Uncertainties Fellowships (AHRC/ESRC) with research programmes that explore the differences between radicalism and extremism through the arts and popular culture. Her work engages with contemporary arts activism both critically and creatively, ranging from scholarly research to theatre production, filmmaking and the curating of exhibitions.
