The Mahmoud Darwish project not only celebrates Darwish’s oeuvre and its interaction with its modern literary, intellectual, and political reality but also explores its global literary impact. Also addresses Darwish’s creativity as a symbolic, patriotic, Arab and national revolutionary figure, and as a basic reference for modernist poetry in general and for committed poetry in particular. Hence, it examines how Mahmoud Darwish’s legacy has been employed, represented, and interpreted, in the past and in the present. Attention is turned as well to criticism of the systematic employment of Darwish, his works, and his patriarchal framing, which has led to the marginalization and silencing of other poetical and literary genres, as a drift away from commitment to political action.
