    The Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures welcomes Associate Professor of Dance Studies Shayna Silverstein to discuss her recent study, The Embodied Politics of Dabke Dance Music in Syria.

    An analysis of how Syrian dabke, a popular dance music infused with collectivism and cultural memory, has paradoxically contributed to isolation and fragmentation within Syrian society from the formation of the authoritarian nation state to the recent conflict.

    RSVP for lunch: afirat@temple.edu (Alexa Firat, Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures)

    Cosponsored by Global Studies and the Dance Department at Boyer College of Music and Dance
