OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Decolonial Queering Aesthesis: Unsettling Spaces of Zionist Sensuality
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.
