"The sonic dynamics of these mass spectacles are captured eloquently by Syrian author Nihad Sirees in his 2004 novel, The Silence and the Roar. The novel’s protagonist, a writer who refuses to comply with the regime, reveals himself as a dissident through how he listens to and navigates a public march to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of “the Leader’s” ascension to power. " and "Sirees published The Silence and The Roar years before insurgent crowds filled the streets to demand the collapse of the regime. His writing reveals that where vocalic bodies make audible dissent, they also bellow the power of authoritarianism. Moreover, Syria’s body politic suggests that how bodies respond to participatory chants at protests and marches is contingent on the political conditions of consensus and dissensus."
