Materializing the wild
In this episode we once again invite our listeners into our process but this time with a more concrete object. The episode is the recording of our meeting to plan our collective publication entitled "Levinas against the State: Readings toward a Decolonial Philosophy (https://axiapublishers.com/ojs/index.php/labyrinth/article/view/389)." Along the episode you will hear the way we bounce ideas around as well as the way we try to build system of working together. As it is usually the case, a lot of the planning does not make it into the text and a lot of new ideas emerge once one starts working on things.

HIDAH 9/ Raw Reflections I
Wild Imagination for a savage future
In this episode we invite our listeners to see how the (kosher) sausage is made and look behind the curtain of our chaotic process. This is a purposely pointless session where we set out to discuss our wild imagination of things we can produce. We mainly focus on texts we can write and references we are coming from.

HIDAH 8/ The Present is Very Recent: The Ongoing Power of the ‘What if’
Remembering Alternative Histories Beyond Linear Timelines
In this conversation, we speak with writer, journalist and From the Periphery co-founder Elia Ayoub. We talk about the Elia’s engagement with the politics of Yiddish, Arab Jewishness, linguistic fascism, alternate futures, hauntings, thinking about histories beyond timelines, and much more. This conversation was recorded in early 2025.

HIDAH 7/ Diasporism II: A positive account of diasporism
Another configuration is possible
In this conversation we go deeper into some of the questions addressed in the previous episode. Alexia, Daniel and Yonathan think of ways of organizing as Jews and organizing Jewish community in a different manner. We reflect on whether the best way to organize is to disorganize and if by disorganizing one can organize differently. We talk about some of the central categories in the Jewish vocabulary today to ask whether they still hold value today: whether they still help us navigate the world we live in or whether we need to find new meanings to them.

HIDAH 6/ Diasporism I: A different map for a different world
The possibilities and impossibilities of reclaiming an idea
In this conversation, Alexia and Yonathan discuss a text by Gabriel Abensour and Noémie Issan-Benchimol titled "Mapping diasporisms: for a Judaism of continuity (https://k-larevue.com/en/2024/09/12/mapping-diasporisms-for-a-judaism-of-continuity/)." We offer a critical engagement with their ideas and try to speculate what are the option they don't take into consideration but could prove interesting. By reflecting on their arguments, we try to frame a possible conceptualization of diasporism that does not stand between the two negative. This positive account of diasporism will be developed in the next episode as part II of this conversation.

HIDAH 5/ Antisemitism today: How and why it matters?
Reflecting on antisemitism beyond simplicity and weaponization
In this conversation, we reflect on the nature of antisemitism and its relevance in todays' world. We ask how it manifests and its problematic ramifications. We talk about its convoluted manifestations, the dangers of its weaponization and the question of Jewish integration. This leads us to the issue of philosemitism. The challenge our conversation aims to hold is accepting that antisemitism is both real and being instrumentalized. That it is the instrumentalization that often trivializes it and therefore that one must take antisemitism seriously to challenge its weaponization.
