Framed within the program 'Cartagena Piensa' will take place this Thursday, October 18, at 20:00 hours, in the library Josefina Soria Ramon Alonso Luzzy Cultural Center, the presentation of the book 'Everyone wearing masks.
Diario 1995-1996 ', by the author Laura Freixas.
The event, which is organized by the Youth Council in collaboration with the Equality, will have the participation of Ramona Lopez, the collective + women, which will be responsible for presenting the author of the book.
Before the presentation, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m., Laura Freixas will lead the workshop "Lies, secrets and silences in the writing of women", whose places have already been filled.
The author proposes a conference on "The mandate of silence directed to women in the patriarchal culture" preceded by a reading workshop of several authors such as Carmen Martín Gaite, Clarice Lispector or María Luisa Bombal.
From "women shut up in the church" of San Pablo to the reggaeton "I want a woman who does not say naaaa" by Kevin Roldán, the mandate of silence addressed to women, along with the disqualification of his word (accusing them of charlatans and liars ), has been a constant of the patriarchal culture.
This will be the central theme of the conference, and the workshop will analyze some ways in which women have internalized or trying to break this prohibition of access to the word.
ABOUT THE BOOK
'Everyone wears a mask.
Diario 1995-1996 '(Editorial Errata Naturae, 2018), is a key to the intimate life of a woman, with her greatness and weakness, which reveals the day to day life of a creator.
The powerful journal of a writer, whose life can be read almost like a novel.
The previous volume of the diaries of Laura Freixas (Una vida subterránea, Diario 1991-1994) showed us a young writer who was trying to "get ahead" her first novel, her desire to have children and her marriage.
This new installment, centered on the next two years (1995 and 1996), delves into a life that young people are gradually leaving behind to enter maturity (also literary).
