This talk traces queerness as a subversive standpoint against conventional norms which exceed the heteronormative framework. In their writing and mutual work together as part of “Anu”, Hila Amit and Mati Shemoelof seek to think through the idea of queering the language, the queer aspect of diasporic positioning and queering notions of belonging and nationalism. What would it mean to weave Arabic into Hebrew literature produced in contemporary Israel? What does Mizrahi culture mean outside of the tensed boiling pot of Zionism? In what ways the diaspora can transform the home and its national discourse? They wish to find the connections and alliances which can be formulated within these fluid territories or discussion.
