Abstract
Jocelyne Saab’s legacy includes more than a dozen archive boxes, sorted by project. The first collection dates from 1993: every image she shot during the war was made as a matter of urgency, because the few archives she had kept burned with the rest of her childhood during the siege of Beirut by the Israeli forces in 1982. We know Jocelyne Saab for her work on the MENA region where she saw causes to defend or people to enlighten. But her archive offers a new, fascinating, roadmap for her legacy because as a whole it questions the strict Pan-Arabism that researchers and critics assume for her. It contains, among others, six unfinished documentary and fiction projects that would have been shot in Asia if she had found the necessary funding – projects planned in Vietnam, Hanoi, India. This chapter will discuss the unfinished work and Saab’s connection with Asia. This attraction that Saab had for Asia leads us today to reconsider differently a major part of her work and engagement, from the 1980s to the end of her life.
