Why is it important?
The issues fill gap within the contemporary studies of violence in the Maghreb. By opening up the notion of the Maghreb, we are able to put different types of memories of trauma and violence as well as the myriad ways in which aesthetics intervene in them in dialogue with each other.
Perspectives
