11th SEPTEMBER- 16h30 Natalia Strok (Universidad de Buenos Aires-CONICET-Universidad Nacional de La Plata):

This edition of the New Voices on Women in the History of Philosophy is organized by Pedro Pricladnitzky, Research Associate at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists, dedicated to Women Philosophers from Latin America.

The works of Latin American women philosophers as well as theorists from related disciplines stand as a testament to the rich scenario of philosophical inquiry emerging from their diverse cultural, historical, and political contexts. Their scholarship not only offers penetrating insights into enduring philosophical questions but also serves as a potent catalyst for interrogating and reshaping dominant paradigms within the field.

On Wednesday, September 11th, at 16h30 Natalia Strok (Universidad de Buenos Aires-CONICET-Universidad Nacional de La Plata) will present:

“Juana Manuela Gorriti: romanticism and political critique”

In this paper I intend to present the Argentinean writer Juana Manuela Gorriti (ca. 1816-1892). In particular, I am interested in showing, through some of her short stories, the way in which political criticism bursts into the author’s romantic writings, which include themes such as the place of women, as well as the relationship with the native peoples and slavery. First of all, I will take a biographical sketch to provide an adequate context and then I will look at two of her texts: “La quena” (The flute) and “La novia del muerto” (The Dead Man’s Bride).

Everyone is welcome to attend!
