SUMMARY:Viral Harm\, Contested Definitions: Antisemitism and the Politics of Listening
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies\, ISH postdoctoral fellow Dr. Kathryn Huether will present her talk Viral Harm\, Contested Definitions: Antisemitism and the Politics of Listening\, on November 12th at Royce Hall. \nDr. Huether’s talk will examine how antisemitism is transmitted and amplified through sound on contemporary social media platforms\, situating this analysis within today’s contested debates over how antisemitism itself is defined. Moving beyond text-based definitions to examine music\, ambient audio\, and meme-driven clips\, she will show how these sonic practices blur parody and hate\, evade moderation systems\, and circulate antisemitic affect through the viral logics of digital culture. \nThis talk is being hosted by the Alan Dr. Leve Center for Jewish Studies.
