This seminar, as part of the Queer Theory module at HaSS Cornwall, will consider ‘coalitional aurality’ as discussed by queer musicologist Elliot H Powell to help read the novel Greasepaint by Hannah Levene. Powell argues that tuning into ‘resonance’ can lead to ‘unexpected, unintended, and uneven’ connections. We will focus on the novel’s relationship between ‘butch’ understood as queer masculinities and Yiddish, discussing the history of the Yiddish language, its cultural moorings in anarchism and the ways in which the properties of the Yiddish language, especially as it was employed by Yiddish anarchists, resonate with Powell’s idea of coalitional aurality. We will put Powell’s resonant theories into practice via a homophonic translation workshop. Bio of Dr Hannah Levene: Hannah Levene is a writer living in Norwich, UK. Her novel Greasepaint was published by Nightboat Books in February 2024. She has a PhD in Creative Writing from Roehampton University exploring The Composition of New Butch Literature. Various prose, poetry and conversations have been published at Lit Hub, Bomb Mag, Fruit Journal, Hotel, Data Bleed, Blackbox Manifold, and FENWOMEN. She is currently working on a collaborative novel with D Mortimer titled Abraham’s Bosom. Essential readings: Elliott H.
