MASTERS OF PEACE SPEAKING THE UNSPEAKABLE - A...

Adham Hamed explores how a metaphoric understanding of the Middle East as an open space full of
resonating sound bodies can be applied to the Middle East Conflict. Through inquiring into the
experienced truths of large-scale political violence  the author suggests that music carries a
potential for speaking 'unspeakable' truths. He explores hidden layers by applying the
transrational approach to peace studies and proposes a non-territorial understanding of
conflict. Hamed argues that security and justice discourses make up the dominant primary themes
in this context. The Jerusalem Youth Chorus and the Egyptian band Eskenderella are examined as
case studies. This book uncovers where their truths meet within and beyond the restrictions of
formalized language. The author concludes that in moments of experienced resonance there is
potential for change in the dynamics of rigid conflicts.
