Cankarjev dom (Lecture room M3/4)
10 am - 1.30 pm; 3.30 pm - 6.30 pm
The aim of the 2006 Symposium is to establish the context in which different generations of theorists, writers, publishers and others in the field of literature shall have an opportunity to communicate their experience, as well as undertake research and initiatives that due to the processes of nationalization failed to be
conveyed through the (feminist) communication channels that existed within Yugoslavia prior to the post-Yugoslav wars.
With a focus on the post-war Balkans the City Of Women Symposium 2006 will:
ü discuss the impact of gender and the politics of cultural and national identity on the creation of literature
ü articulate models of literary criticism and literary discourse that traverse the
frontiers of Southeastern Europe’s new nation states
ü trace the concepts of memory in the anti-war discourse of women
ü compare and question cultural policies in the context of the composition of contemporary literature in former Yugoslavia.
