N2 - 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.
