El plaer de la lectura. Subvertir i seduir: les autores dels nostres dies
Marta Font and Katarzyna Paszkiewicz (Centre Dona i Literatura) will be coordinating the course El plaer de la lectura. Subvertir i seduir: les autores dels nostres dies, which intends to offer a setting to read closely and reflect, as well as interpret, the most prevailing books written by women writers who have been internationally acclaimed. This course will endeavor to identify the current importance, the representation, and the mirror reflecting the distinctive difficulties of the world we live in, found in the writing and thought of strictly contemporary women authors. In this sense, we will explore voices such as Louise Edrich, Carme Riera, Karen Russell, Miral al-Tahawy o Florina Ilis -to name a few-, all of which are extremely singular and necessary. The instructors will offer a guide to possible interpretations in accordance to a subversive and seducing gaze, very much at the core of forms of writing which are voluntarily impudent and destabilizing.
The course, comprised of ten two-hour sessions, has a cost of 140€; discounts are offered for members of the UB community and residents of Badalona (115 €). Consult all the information on prices and the registration procedure in the Àrea de Formació Complementària of the Universitat de Barcelona.
