*Approaching Creative Expression after the 2011 Egyptian Revolution:
Challenges and Possibilities for Current Scholarship*
*Symposium and Working Group*
June 8, 2019, Saturday
10:30 am to 6:00 pm
New Seminar Room, St. John’s College, University of Oxford
Accounts of Egyptian creative expression written during and immediately
after the 2011 revolution primarily captured the profound senses of
euphoria, optimism, awe, and novelty that marked this particular
extraordinary moment. As these positive sentiments quickly turned into
political exhaustion and depression, the need to situate emerging creative
expression not only in a current revolutionary moment but in relation to
broader historical, cultural, and global conditions became more pressing.
This one-day interdisciplinary symposium serves as a starting point for a
sustained working group that fosters critical discussion on approaching
creative expression in contemporary Egypt. It includes scholars from a
variety of disciplines who are currently working on substantial
publications that focus on creative expression in Egypt during the last
decade.
