Spyros Petritis: 

Zionism and pink-washing: Reality or myth?

18 September

Taking as starting point the ban of David’s star on Chicago’s Dyke March in 2017 this lecture will examine: a. the criteria for a functional definition of antisemitism (EU) b. the history of homosexual persecution in Nazi Germany (Pink Triangle), c. The ways that modern antizionism, takes myths of the past and disguises them into theories of either rightwing (white genocide conspiracy theory) or leftist (pink washing) audiences.

Spyros Petritis is a theater scholar, with postgraduate studies at the University of Athens. During the academic year of 2017-2018 he attended Odette Varon - Vassard’s seminar on the Jewish Genocide (1942-1945) and in 2016 he contributed to the collective book ‘Dodeka Erotikes Diadromes’.
