Summary:Momro examines Edward W. Said’s writing in After the Last Sky: Palestinian Lives, which forms a hybrid and fragmentary whole with Jean Mohr’s photographs. Said’s text can be seen as a philosophical non-fiction essay. The extraordinarily difficult political, social, symbolical and existential situation of the Palestinian people, their status as refugees and the injustice of exile, constantly raise the question of our relationship to truth as a hegemonic cultural and political meaning, about the place for those who have been deprived of their own territory, and finally: about suffering and the limits of its expression, as well as of expression in the name and in the absence of the subjects of this suffering. The main question is whether non-fictional and hybrid works, a sort of writing and representation “in progress,” can become an effective tool of political, theoretical and scholarly intervention.
