"Jews in Image and Imagination: Jewish Body, Gender, and Sexuality in Representation", to take place February 7-8, 2013 with Keynote Speaker: Charlotte E. Fonrobert, Stanford University.
What's it about?
The inaugural conference...will explore the representational relationship between Jews and sexuality, Jews and gender, Jews and physicality, and Jews and the body. How have Jews imagined themselves throughout history and how do they imagine themselves today? Or, how do others imagine Jews or even “the Jew”? Appropriate proposals might explore such topics as the new Israeli masculinity in Hebrew literature, the figuring of queer Jews in film, Jews on stage, representations of Jews in the medical profession, medicine’s treatment of Jews, or Jews in athletics...
Do I have to be a Jewish feminist to be...anxious - or excited - about this?
