La mémoire comme ressource et enjeu de lutte dans les documentaires syriens de l’après 2011

Abstract

In Syrian cinematographic creation – essentially documentary – which escapes the control of the regime, memory occupies an important place in the representation of the conflict that tears the country apart. Drawing from three Syrian documentary films shot after 2011 – Houses without Doors, 194, us children of the camp and The Taste of Cement –, we will put into perspective how the memory of one side is mobilized as a resource of representation of the conflict, including after leaving Syria, and, on the other hand, is an issue to reclaim the story of this conflict, in a context where the regime seeks to impose his.
