What’s Novel about a Novel? Storytelling and Travelling Knowledge

By: Miriam Schwarz, Tara Talwar Windsor

This material is a product of the Caponeu project.

In March 2024, the Cambridge CAPONEU team hosted a public event with the author Shida Bazyar, in conversation with Miriam Schwarz and Tara Talwar Windsor in conversation with Shida Bazyar. The event focused on Bazyar's novel Sisters in Arms and explored how knowledge is treated and transported in Bazyar’s novel, taking its characters, readers and even its author on epistemic journeys.
