On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The talk will focus on the relation between aesthetics and de/colonisation in Palestine. The first part draws on the work of Jacques Ranciere and settler colonial studies to explore how Zionist settler colonialism governs and regulates aesthetic spaces and sensualities in Palestine. It will do so by focusing on the case of ‘pinkwashing.’ The second part will then examine how the artistic work of Palestinian queer artists and activists challenges this settler-colonial regime of governing sensuality. Combining the work of Walter Mignolo and native feminist theories, it will show how such works enable what I call ‘decolonial queering aesthesis.’ In other words, they reconstruct spaces of native sovereign sensuality through cartographies of healing, homemaking and resurgence.
