More than ten years on from the revolutionary events of the Arab uprisings that  historically shook and changed the North African and Middle Eastern region, there  is still a compelling need to engage in discussions about the post-revolutionary  trajectories, including the persistence and deepening of authoritarian violence and  coercion that individuals and societies are experiencing across the region. The  discussions aim to examine how these processes of restoration —understood as  neither linear nor static—affects social, political, and cultural structures.
