ABSTRACT

This text analyzes the structures of truth spoken by the defeated when national sentiments are posteuphoric, escalated, and divisive. It is an inquiry into where knowledge resides and how it is relayed interrupted, ambiguous, and untrusting by the subjects of these histories. Trusts radicalize, radicals instrumentalize, and instruments delegalize in the Arab world since 2011, while the Internet fills up with peer-posted views on geographies rendered inaccessible. These issues produce a scarcity of content/images that had its effect on the extent my research on the protagonists of Plan (fem.) for Greater Baghdad (2018) of continuous narratives. I had to build a resemblance of a protagonist into a 3D figure structured on one photo that I found, posted on Facebook, and on the fragments given by acquaintances who knew well the history but decided to reveal only very little of it.
