Visual arts, performing arts and literature are instrumental in exposing the complexity of the numerous forms that violence against women and girls can take in the contemporary world, as well as exploring new and old forms of resistance.
For these reasons, Flinders Univerity in Adelaide will host the conference titled "INDELIBLE / INDELEBILE – Representation in the arts of (in)visible violence against women and their resistance" on 23/25 October 2019.
This interdisciplinary conference aims to contribute to the ‘glocal’ conversation on the topic of gendered violence and at the same time raise awareness of the global extent of the problem, by analysing ways in which both such violence and resistance to it are represented in the arts. While a key strand of the conference will concern the arts in contemporary Italy, its scope will be broad, encouraging comparison with other societies across space and time, as Cassamarca Senior Lecturer in Italian Studies Luciana D'arcangeli explains.
