CFP: Female Creations in Literary and Intercultural Education

OverviewThe II CICELI faces the challenge of studying and making visible the creativity of women in formal, non-formal and informal education. Therefore, it focuses on the study of poets, playwrights or narrators whose work is included or can be included in the curricula of schools, high schools and universities, both in literature subjects as in others where the reading is presented transversally. Proposals addressing female filmmakers and artists are also accepted, as well as research on fictional characters through a gender studies approach, all of which should be relevant to either compulsory schooling, higher education or educational experiences outside of regulated models. Within these themes, there is room for comparative studies or research measuring the presence of female authors and artists in literary or intercultural education in any territory, not forgetting the pedagogical impact of didactic materials, textbooks or other creative publications, such as illustrated albums or animation productions, aimed at a growing, heterogeneous audience immersed in a process of constant learning. The meeting is aligned with the principles of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN), specifically with the Sustainable Development Goals belonging to the 'people' axis (SDGs 1-5), making "leave no one behind" our motto. Finally, we celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Historia de una maestra (1990) with the opening of a topic dedicated to its author, Josefina Aldecoa (1926-2011), and including a performance, within the framework of the congress, of theatrical adaptation of this novel by Paula Llorens.KeynotesCICELI schedules plenary lectures by internationally renowned personalities such as Emmanuel Le Vagueresse (Université de Reims-Champagne Ardenne, France), Juan de Dios Villanueva Roa (Universidad de Granada, Spain), Genoveva Ponce Naranjo (Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo, Ecuador) o Teresa Fernández-Ulloa (University of California, Bakersfield, United States).Women writers, illustrators, playwrights and actresses will be invited, including Mar Benegas, Rocío Araya or Paula Llorens.
