Beyond Words: Visuality and Resistance in Ornela Vorpsi
Giorgia Alù
(University of Sydney)
This half-day interdisciplinary seminar investigates mobility, border and threshold crossing in contemporary women’s works. By bringing together four cross-cultural papers the seminar aims to stimulate discussion on the multifaceted way women use literary and aesthetic forms to narrate stories of spatial mobility and of movement across boundaries ofidentity, gender, body and sexuality. The seminar will focus on the transnational, transmedial and translingual experiences in the works of Pakistani feminist poets Kishwar Naheed and Fahmida Riaz, the Italian-Somali author Igiaba Scego, the Italophone Albanian writer and photographer Ornela Vorpsi and the French novelist and playwright Marie N’Diaye.
