It created embodied reactions among Cairene men\u2014years after their lived prison experiences\u2014in which depression, sorrow, stress, paranoia, rage, or painful body memories are prevalent. Affect theory shows how sonic vibrations\u2014important stimuli within everyday experience, with a unique power to induce strong affective states\u2014mediate consciousness, including heightened states of attention and anxiety. Sound, or the lack thereof, stimulates, disorients, transforms, and controls. The sound of life is transformed into the sound of death; the desire to disappear in order not to disappear again produces \u2018ghost bodies\u2019 alienated from the \u2018new Egypt\u2019, but from the family and the self too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.swarthmore.edu\/academics\/pcs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/ACFrOgDGjTDmZB1XDnlA6jEIjy0u6_EO3xe0FW9cru9QbGGP5uv82MdCKBS5M8I8hi6myBNIKarcm0OGenBvcJsfMfQ58TZbOdiuo18Ljns8TK11qnM1bKW9bviJgVBpHU9z4-NtIh8TevDCAlr_1024_1.jpg\" alt=\"     \" class=\"wp-image-175424588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.swarthmore.edu\/academics\/pcs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/ACFrOgDGjTDmZB1XDnlA6jEIjy0u6_EO3xe0FW9cru9QbGGP5uv82MdCKBS5M8I8hi6myBNIKarcm0OGenBvcJsfMfQ58TZbOdiuo18Ljns8TK11qnM1bKW9bviJgVBpHU9z4-NtIh8TevDCAlr_1024_1.jpg 791w, https:\/\/blogs.swarthmore.edu\/academics\/pcs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/ACFrOgDGjTDmZB1XDnlA6jEIjy0u6_EO3xe0FW9cru9QbGGP5uv82MdCKBS5M8I8hi6myBNIKarcm0OGenBvcJsfMfQ58TZbOdiuo18Ljns8TK11qnM1bKW9bviJgVBpHU9z4-NtIh8TevDCAlr_1024_1-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/blogs.swarthmore.edu\/academics\/pcs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/ACFrOgDGjTDmZB1XDnlA6jEIjy0u6_EO3xe0FW9cru9QbGGP5uv82MdCKBS5M8I8hi6myBNIKarcm0OGenBvcJsfMfQ58TZbOdiuo18Ljns8TK11qnM1bKW9bviJgVBpHU9z4-NtIh8TevDCAlr_1024_1-768x994.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><figcaption>                            The Living Dead or the Sonic Story of Male Bodies Behind Bars in Egypt Flyer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sponsored by: Sociology &amp; Anthropology, Arabic section of MLL, Islamic Studies, Peace &amp; Conflict Studies<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peace and Conflict Studies Department is pleased to be a co-sponsor of this talk, featuring Dr. Maria&nbsp;Frederika Malmstr\u00f6m, taking place at Swarthmore College.
