OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
