SUMMARY:U-M Frankel Center Event: Wieseneck Symposium on Queer Israeli Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Gayle & Larry Wieseneck Symposium is an annual conference hosted by the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies to explore various topics relating to Israel and to look at Israel in multiple contexts. This year\, the 2024-25 Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies\, themed “Queer/Trans/Jewish\,” is bringing in scholars from Canada\, Israel\, and all over the USA\, to examine the broad topic of Queer Israeli Culture. Come for just one session\, or stay the whole day! You especially don’t want to miss the evening’s finale: a special performance by spoken word artist Yossi Zabari (pictured) at 8:30 PM. \nSESSION 1: MINI-MANUSCRIPT WORKSHOP – 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM (Lunch included for participants. RSVP HERE) \nShirly Bahar (Columbia)\, Yigal Nizri (University of Toronto)\, and Frankel Institute Head Fellow Bryan Roby\, will first analyze and discuss pre-circulated material and chapter excerpts. Please RSVP for this workshop to receive the recommended reading. In the second half of this workshop\, Institute Fellow Sivan Rajuan-Shtang and guest scholar Tamar Sella (University of North Texas) will present their working manuscripts for audience feedback. Lunch will be included for workshop participants. \nSESSION 2: ANTI-TRANS RHETORIC IN ISRAEL IN CONTEMPORARY & HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE – 3 – 4:45 PM \nTamar ben David (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev)\, Iris Rachamimov (Frankel Institute)\, and Amal Ziv (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) gather for a Q&A roundtable discussion with symposium participants to discuss anti-trans rhetoric in Israel. \nSESSION 3: QUEER TEMPORALITY IN ARAB-JEWISH POETRY – 5:30 – 7:15 PM \nHow can cultural expression transcend spatial and temporal boundaries to reconnect with distant pasts? This panel with Frankel Institute Head Fellow Bryan Roby and Fellow Oren Yirmiya\, and guest scholar Tamar Sella (University of North Texas) explores how contemporary queer Mizrahi and Arab-Jewish artists with roots in Jewish communities of the Muslim world reimagine and manifest historical periods and geographical spaces through their creative work. Through analysis of poetry\, music\, and performance by artists including Igal Mizrahi\, Yossi Zabbari\, and Loren Milk\, the panelists examine how these creators bridge temporal and spatial distances to manifest seemingly impossible connections between past and present\, here and there. \nSESSION 4: SPOKEN WORD PERFORMANCE BY YOSSI ZABARI – 8:30 – 9:30 PM \nYossi Zabari is a writer and spoken word artist who has conquered the Internet time and again with viral videos that are catchier than the Black Plague. Zabari is also a theater actor\, stand-up comedian and proud gay father.
