Internal Workshop | "Defenders of the Motherland" - Gender, Borders, Memory

Dec 03, 2021 | 09:00 AM - 06:30 PM

This is an internal workshop in form of a hybrid event in cooperation with the Humboldt Lab at Humboldt Forum Berlin. Insight the building, the  2G+ rule applies (vaccinated or recovered and tested).

Description

The workshop, organised by the project Gender, Borders, Memory of the RU Borders, brings together experts in the field of gender studies and Catalan nationalism from the historical studies and the social sciences. We want to kick-start a dialogue about the possibilities of approaching the Catalan political situation through the category of gender.

We will also present our working paper “Ni masclisme, ni inclusio”?—Gendered Language and Gendered Debates around the Catalan National Anthem, which deals with the Catalan anthem “Els Segadors”.

For more information, please contact Johanna Heß & Tobias Klee.
