The Department of English Language and Literature at the School of Foreign Languages organised on Tuesday a lecture titled “‘Taking the Suit for a Walk’: Reimagining Urban Modernity in Palestinian Anglophone Fiction,” delivered by Dr. Lindsey Moore, a Reader in Postcolonial Literatures at Lancaster University (UK).
In her lecture, Moore explored how Isabella Hammad’s "The Parisian" and Suad Amiry’s "The Mother of Strangers" challenge colonialist narratives by reinterpreting historical events and reimagining urban spaces through the perspectives of their protagonists.
The session was moderated by Dr. Yousef Abu Amrieh and attended by the Head of the Department, Dr. Hussein Alhawamdeh, along with a number of faculty members and postgraduate students from the department.
A discussion followed the lecture, reflecting the participants’ engagement with the topic.
