The Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women's Writing
cross-cultural seminars continue through 2013-14 at the Institute of
Modern Languages Research, University of London.
The first seminar is on Wednesday 11 December 2013, 2-5 pm, STB2
(Stewart House, basement), University of London
'Crossing Borders: Femininity, Visuality and Narrative on the Move'
(org. Simone Brione and Giorgia Alu )
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 of identity, 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 NDiaye.
