Call for papers

The Centre Dona i Literatura is collaborating with the Symposium "Identidade e xénero en Galicia desde unha perspectiva multidisciplinaria", organized by the University of Warsaw. Gender and sexuality studies have provided major theoretical tools for the construction of those identities defined in the margins and fringes and, at the same time, studies on globalization have driven their theoretical positions towards these alleged margins. Thus, minority identities have become central for studies analysing identity constructions within transcultural contexts. The Symposium, which will have as its keynote speakers Helena González Fernández (Universitat de Barcelona), María Xosé Agra and Dolores Vilavedra (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela), among others, will tackle all these questions. Papers can be sent for consideration until December 15, 2015.
