Abstract
This article explores the connections between creative memoir in a post-October 7 world, and the analysis of films, using a close analysis of Personal Shopper (2016) and The Taste of Things (2023) and their own depictions of individual love, grief, and the embodiment of trauma. I argue for a sensory discourse in academic film analysis that is tied to the bodily awareness of inhabiting Jewish, feminine and personal lived experiences. The article also proposes that the ‘doubleness’ of the Jewish body’s experience, as traced through personal memoir and sensory perceptions, is a critical stance that both proposes and fills in gaps in the scholarly understanding of embodiment in film and the arts, as well as explores personal and shared experiences of Jewish women in a post-October 7 context.
