La infància en femení: les nenes. Imatges i figures de la filiació

This First International symposium "La infància en femení: les nenes. Imatges i figures de la filiació", organized by Mariela Fargas Peñarrocha, Maria Dolors Molas Font and Teresa Viñolas Vidal (Tàcita Muta. Grup d'Estudis de Dones i Gènere a l'Antiguitat), aims at analyzing the ways in which gender shapes and constructs representations of childhood, in particular that of girls, and how these representations seek to determine their future role as women. The suggested areas of analysis include: Ancient History, Modern Times, Philosophy, Sociology and Literature. Along with the organizers, several scholars will participate: Sylvia Chant (London School of Economics), Elena Laurenzi (Universitat de Barcelona), Zahrah Nesbitt-Ahmed (Institute of Development Studies, London School of Economics), Araceli Rosillo (Universitat de Barcelona) and Aroa Santiago (FAO, International Food and Agriculture Organisation), as well as the researchers at the Centre Dona i Literatura, Adina Mocanu and Marta Segarra. At the end of the event, the project "Porque soy una niña", created by María Concepción López (General Director of Plan Internacional in Spain) will be presented.
