Event Details : Literature and Thinking “Poet women: a trip through poetry written by Spanish women” by Vijaya Venkataraman - Teresa Simón Cabodevilla
We are meeting this poetry Tuesday to explore the topics of the poetry written by women in Spain and Latin-America by reading their most representative poems. Answering the questions: ¿Which are the strategies used by women poets for getting their name recognized? ¿How did they fight against the eternal feminine cliché? ¿How did those poets pass from object to subject of literature? We will make this trip through some topics that helped to recognize, for example: the glorification of the feminine body and its features, the mirror’s reflection, the assumption of an active role in erotism, the commitment with society, etc.
