A space for dialogue that seeks to reflect on the imaginaries that literature has constructed regarding gender roles. The workshop aims to analyze the construction of the main stereotypes and narratives regarding gender in literature and to reflect on the effects of these imaginaries on our way of seeing and inhabiting the world, to recognize their relationship with the society from which they emerge, analyze the changes in their discourses and celebrate the advances that have been made from feminism.
