I am sitting at the library in Jerusalem, trying to focus on my term-paper. Little drops of salty sweat run down my armpits, even though I sit still in front of Butler’s writing on subversive mimetic acts. Is this the performative expression of reading? An essay titled Diaspora: Generation and the Ground of Jewish Identity peeks at me from beneath a pile of notes, while a documentation of Arkadi Zaides’ ARCHIVE is open in a new tab. Perhaps it’s just the summer heat in the Middle East.
An essay and a performance, a theoretical embodied research, a speech and an act.

Participants in the workshop will develop their own biography (true or fictional), drawing from memories (individual or collective), history or language, mediating between personal narratives and the social group context. Combining different disciplines, the workshop will invite creative people to illuminate their private questions within a liberating research framework.
