Inspired by questions of visuality and gender, this lecture will address gender and femininity as performance, expressed through the everyday life experiences of women who do not rely on sight as their dominant mode of perception. Drawing on an ethnographic project conducted in Israel, published in my 2019 book Blindness through the Looking Glass (University of Michigan Press), I discuss the formation of gender identity as a multisensorial process, challenging sight and visuality as the dominant mode through which we understand gender, social performance, and visual culture. The anthropological analysis offers insights into the broader political and social outcomes of negotiating perceptions of gender, disability, and femininity in the Israeli context, and the ways disability culture more generally creates new gendered and political aesthetics that disrupt cultural binaries.
