1 Taleghani also reviews, then sets aside, anthropological terms of debate around Syrian prison literature established in the late 1990s and early 2000s by miriam cooke and Lisa Wedeen, in their respective studies of political culture under Hafez al-Assad, around tanfīs (the letting off of steam) and complicities between the state and oppositional culture; 7–9 and 13.
