Abstract
Jackson summons a “poetic voice … to more accurately convey the underlying creative life force that drives all areas of my life and is helping me to survive” (96) and employs a conceptual framework of structured improvisation to the task, counterposing the known, the unknown, and the unknowable. According to Alsheridah: “Zar rituals are particularly meaningful to Kuwaiti women who use them as a way of gathering together and creating a communal space” (114). With each “exemplar,” “the analysis attends to the camera framing and motion to identify important elements of the Islamicate gaze that influence representations of the women’s zar dance performances” (118). According to Beller-Tadiar, she now “skips this,” moving toward a “queer tango vision” that “emphasiz[es] listening, mutual agency, dialogue; constantly switching roles; and giving a different imagination of what roles are, what it might mean to take on a role” (115).
