Mother of beaten earth: violence under and on the feet of women in a road tilled with Valter Hugo Mãe between film, writings and life
March 30th, 2009, 15:00, School of Economics Auditorium, University of Coimbra
| Presentation | ||
Since March represents the month of “feminist” struggles we come to organize, within the doctoral programme “Governance, Knowledge and Innovation”, a debate regarding the domestic violence issue. Beginning with the projection of Iciar Bollaín’s film “Te doy mis ojos”, as an example of this type of experience, followed by a more deep reflection on Valter Hugo Mãe’s “O Remorso de Baltasar Serapião”. The debate with Valter Hugo Mãe, author distinguished with the José Saramago Literary Prize 2007, will follow commentaries by José Manuel Pureza, a representative of feminist activists from Republica “Marias do Loureiro” and Susana Noronha. The moderation will be carried out by Maria Paula Meneses. |
