Description du projet
La tragédie syrienne et son impact sur le corps
Le projet SYRBODY, financé par l’UE, est l’une des premières tentatives d’approche du corps dans le contexte syrien. Elle a pour objectif de développer une philosophie contextuelle en s’appuyant sur la psychanalyse, l’art et la littérature pour étudier les effets de la destruction que subit le corps dans un contexte de violence extrême. Elle examine également les dynamiques corporelles de résistance et de résilience dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire basée sur des œuvres d’art, des témoignages et des fictions. Le travail de terrain est principalement mené à l’Institut français du Proche-Orient à Beyrouth (CNRS), et le travail conceptuel au Centre d’Études et de Recherches Interdisciplinaires en Lettres, Arts, Cinéma à Paris (Université de Paris).
Objectif
“SYRBODY – The Tragic Body in the Syrian Context” is one of the first attempts to think the consequences that one of the greatest tragedies of our time, the Syrian tragedy, has had on the body. This project aims to develop and disseminate a contextual philosophy of the body by drawing upon psychoanalysis and literature in order to study (1) the mutilations that the body of refugee undergoes, (2) its attempt to resist those mutilations by creating real – but above all imaginary – prosthetics for itself, (3) and its incorporation of dead people, the morning of which is impossible. SYRBODY responds to one of the principal priorities of the Horizon 2020 work program 2018-2020, namely “Migration and the refugee crisis,” insofar as it aims to help understand the life of refugees and, in the same stroke, bring to light the injustice and horror that they are fleeing.
SYRBODY proposes to combine fieldwork with Syrian refugees and conceptual and theoretical work. The fieldwork will be conducted mainly in Lebanon, which hosts the largest number of refugees in the Arab world. During the outgoing phase, I will carry out fieldwork in Lebanon in order to establish a solid basis of data concerning three elements: texts, audiovisual products, and interviews. The conceptual and theoretical work will be conducted mainly in France during the incoming phase. This project’s Beneficiary is the Université Paris-Diderot (the Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches Interdisciplinaires en Lettres Arts Cinéma), and its Partner Organization is the Institut Français du Proche-Orient in Beirut.
