Event overview
MPhil. Ana Nenadovic (Freie Universität Berlin, Germany)
'Between Silence and Enunciation, Representations of Sexual Violence Against Women in Latin America and South Africa' focuses on the representations of sexual violence against women in 21st century novels from Mexico, Brazil and South Africa through a feminist and postcolonial perspective.
It aims to analyse the different subjectivities of female characters who suffer from sexual violence in Bolaño’s 2666, Rivera Garza’s No One Will See Me Cry, Lisboa’s Symphony in White, Wicomb’s David’s Story and Mda’s The Madonna of Excelsior. The representations of rape and other forms of sexual violence range from implicit to explicit depictions of the women’s agonies, and the female victims’ places of enunciation vary, too. Special attention is given to the unequal possibilities of enunciation for white, indigenous and black women.
