Irigaray Circle in Iceland: “Becoming Trickster: Irigaray Inhabiting the Impossible”
At this year’s Irigaray Circle: Touching the World, at the
Institute of Philosophy,
University of Iceland, Reykjavík, Iceland,
I will present my essay
“Becoming Trickster: Irigaray Inhabiting the Impossible.”
My essay and presentation focus on my Irigarayan-inspired performative photographs that reimagine body-spirit relations. I frame the creative exploration of my Sephardic Jewish identity as an embodiment of Irigaray’s mother-daughter idiom.
My 4th anthology this year, my essay will be published later fall with
Body and Religion Interdisciplinary Journal, Editors Dr. Wesley N. Barker and Dr. Emily Holmes
In acknowledgment of the 50th anniversary of the publication of Speculum (Les Editions de Minuit, 1974), the journal of Body and Religion is working on a special issue to explore the questions of embodiment generated by Irigaray’s philosophical, political, pedagogical, and theological engagements, and to consider their significance for religion and religious studies more broadly.
