Doykeit: Queer Jewish Diasporas in Theatre and Live Art in London and New York takes the idea of doykeit as its central animating principle. Doykeit is the Yiddish word for “hereness,” a concept that created by the Jewish socialist organisation, the Jewish Labour Bund, at the end of the nineteenth-century under the Russian Empire to resist antisemitism and to foster workers solidarity in diaspora. Doykeit expresses the idea that Jewish people should be connected to their local community, live fully in the place they are physically present, be engaged in politics, and contribute to the country in which they live. Gale’s research proposes that doykeit can be understood as a tool within theatre and live art that contains themes of Jewishness and queerness, as these mediums offer invaluable and unique lens’ for exploring queer Jewish diasporic identities and politics.
