Abstract
The volume aims to provide lenses that examine, from various angles, a country, Iraq, in the aftermath of the quintessential trauma of its contemporary history, namely, 2003.The volume is thus a collection of "narratives", of narrative acts that render the relationship between reality and its discourse almost oxymoronic. The present work, born in the wake of the conference «Iraq After 2003: When Trauma Becomes Art. Myth, History, and Literature», is therefore published as an outcome of the scientific project "Forms, Languages, and [Con]texts of Tàrìkh: Writing and Rewriting History in Iraq", of which the author of these pages is the Principal Investigator.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
