My Mussorgskian title interestingly relates to what Hegel writes at the end of his Phänomenologie des Geistes regarding the relation between the experience of art and the acquisition of knowledge. By reference to a history extending from Antiquity to the present, I ask in what manner, if any, music relates to poetic images beyond traditional ideals of mimesis or musical accompaniment. Is musical ekphrasis more than musical mimesis? Is musical evocation more than imitation? I also consider whether it makes sense to distinguish ekphrasis by the art of music and musical ekphrasis, given how the concept of musicality extends beyond the musical medium. Finally, I ask whether it is possible for music to describe or evoke an image that exists, no longer exists, or never existed? In this matter, I pay specific attention to the curious reference to Wagner's reference to the non-existent painting of Albrecht Dürer, according to which David slew Goliath.

It is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences. The Institute provides an independent platform for the research, teaching, and discussion of international relations in general and Israeli diplomacy and foreign policy in particular. In an age of globalization, the Institute endeavors to broaden the Israeli public’s horizons by acquainting it with the reality of Israeli foreign policy. Three main aims guide the Institute: • To promote research of international relations from a broad interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on knowledge from a range of academic fields; • To acquaint the general public with key issues in international politics and Israeli foreign policy and encourage discussion of them; • To make the knowledge and expertise of the Institute’s scholars regarding matters of security and foreign affairs available and accessible to the relevant elements in Israeli government institutions.

I argue that cinema and racialized discourses of gender, sexuality and ethno-nationalism play a key role in the denial of Palestinian belonging. I begin by arguing that ongoing Palestinian dispossession remains largely unrecognizable in the dominant North American and European imagination of Palestine in part due to what became a recognizable and inevitable narrative of Palestine as a Jewish national homeland. Revealing the extra-Zionist routes of early Jewish Agency propaganda films, for example, I detach them from reigning progress narratives in Israeli transnational film studies, and explore their implication in a broader visual culture that promoted exclusive Jewish national belonging in Historic Palestine.

  • Going Out, Not Coming Out: Queer Affects, Secluded Publics, and Palestinian Hip-Hop
    doi: https://doi.org/10.26262/gramma.v25i0.6592 Going Out, Not Coming Out: Queer Affects, Secluded Publics, and Palestinian Hip-Hop Alex Karaman University of Arizona, USA Abstract In an effort to a draw attention to queer, Palestinian cultural practices that resist homonationalism and colonialism, this paper begins as a conversation between the fields of Palestine studies and scholarship on sexuality and passing in order to identify the important relationship between, on the one hand, aesthetics and movement in public spaces and, on the other hand, Palestinian social life and identity formation. The conversation then shifts to grounded theorizations of two key elements of queer hip-hop: “going out” as a resistant, queer, and Palestinian practice intimately tied to identity, space, and place; and “secluded publics,” built environments that materialize queer affects and eroticism through dance. Keywords: Palestine studies, hip-hop, queer theory, affect studies, cultural geography, secluded publics esearch on U.S.-based hip-hop has systematically engaged in lyrical analysis as a key approach to understanding why people participate in hip-hop cultural practices, an R approach which has correctly identified tensions between hip-hop and feminist and LGBTQ politics. 1 Miles away from the productive spaces of U.S. hip-hop, Palestinian queer activist and scholar Haneen Maikey describes a different set of constraints on women’s and LGBTQ self-representation, namely how “the unique social, historical, and political situation of Palestinians—the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza and decades of discrimination against Palestinians in Israel—has created real obstacles for advancing respect for sexual and gender diversity in Palestinian society, which has not had the same opportunities to grow and evolve as many other societies have” (600-601).

  • Is Queer Secular? Netalie Braun's Gevald Thea Gold
    Is Queer Secular? Netalie Braun's Gevald Thea Gold GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, Volume 16, Number 4, 2010, pp. 623-634 (Review) Published by Duke University Press For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/glq/summary/v016/16.4.gold.html Access Provided by Open University at 01/22/11 8:51PM GMT Moving Image Review IS QUEER SECULAR? Netalie Braun’s Gevald Thea Gold A recent symposium at the University of California, Berkeley, was organized around the question “Is critique secular?”1 Responding to a growing critical engagement with secularisms, the symposium examined, among other things, Western critique’s current investment in secular ideals and the liberal imaginary through which Western intellectual critics can be nonreflexively attached to ideals of autonomy, creativity, and freedom. In a similar vein, we might also question the investment of queerness in secularism and its own uncritical attachments to such ideals. In other words, “Is queer secular?” The short film Gevald (2008), by the award- winning Israeli filmmaker Netalie Braun, provides an interesting study of this question.2 Beautifully shot and remarkably rich and multifaceted for its modest sixteen- minute running time, Gevald relates a lesbian love story set in West Jerusalem on the eve of the con- tested 2006 pride parade in the city. The film intersperses musical scenes from Shushan, a neighborhood gay drag club, with documentary footage of Haredi Jews rioting and protesting against the parade. Jerusalem city lights fade into a sparkling disco ball. At the club, drag queens on stage lip- synch their hearts out to Hebrew pop, as the gorgeous Palestinian bartender (the remarkable Samira Saraya) buys her Jewish dyke friend a drink.

  • Biopolitics at the Beginning of Life
    EPILOGUE BIOPOLITICS AT THE BEGINNING OF LIFE The Foucauldian model of biopower emphasizes the context of modernity in which the human body has become a target and means of political strategies named biopol- itics. According to Foucault, medicine (like sexuality) serves as a hinge between the level of the private body of individuals and the body of the population or the species, both of which are policed, supervised and examined for their condition and its improvement and protection. Thus, medicine polices private bodies at the same time it regulates populations (Prainsack, 2004). This Foucauldian model has been extended and updated by different writers. For example, Nikolas Rose (2001) contends that the by now classical Foucauldian terms, are no longer relevant to “advanced liberal societies” for different reasons. Among them is the claim that biopolitics can no longer be framed in terms of the “fitness of the nation” because the care for health has been individualized. A good example is the case of reproductive genetics which is no longer coerced by the state. Rather, individual patients are expected to make “autonomous decisions” as part of their self-governance according to medical norms.
