AFRICANA STUDIA 26 - Lutas de Mulheres no Cinema de África e do Médio Oriente | Women's Struggles in the Cinemas of Africa and the Middle East | Les luttes des femmes dans les cinémas de l’Afrique et du Moyen-Orient


[Português]
Já está disponível o número 26 da revista Africana Studia - Lutas de Mulheres no Cinema de África e do Médio Oriente

Este número de Africana Studia apresenta artigos que se enquadram no Colóquio Internacional “As Lutas das Mulheres no cinema de África e Médio Oriente”, organizado pelo Centro de Estudos Africanos da Universidade do Porto, que decorreu entre 12 e 13 de maio de 2016 na FLUP. A publicação aborda o cinema de África e do Médio Oriente como uma área ainda pouco trilhada no campo da investigação, e reflecte dois pontos essenciais do colóquio: as histórias de colonização devastadoras cuja produção cinematográfica permanece pouco conhecida e uma presença feminina na realização ainda na retaguarda de uma arte com profundo impacto nas sociedades.

Issue No. 26 of the journal Africana Studia - Women's Struggles in the Cinemas of Africa and the Middle East is now available

This issue of Africana Studia presents articles that were part of the International Colloquium "Women’s Struggles in the Cinemas of Africa and the Middle East" organised by the Centre for African Studies of the University of Porto, which took place from 12-13 May 2016 at FLUP. The publication addresses the cinemas of Africa and the Middle East as regions still underdeveloped in the field of research, and reflects two key points of the colloquy: the effects of the destructive legacy of colonialism on film production, which is still little known, and the female presence behind an art that has a profound influence on societies.

International Colloquium and Film Screenings: Women's Struggles in the Cinema of Africa and the Middle East, 12-13 May 2016, CEAUP, Porto, Portugal

International Colloquium and Film Screenings
Women's Struggles in the Cinema of Africa & the Middle East
12-13 May 2016
CEAUP – Porto, Portugal

PRESENTATION
Cinema exposes realities characterizing the society which produces it, but it is at the same time a form of critical narrative that has questioned, challenged and even disrupted social and cultural patterns often proposing alternatives that may transform, overthrow and supersede them. This conference thus aims at reflecting on the relations between cinema and society through a multidisciplinary debate around the representation of women and their struggles in the cinemas of Africa and the Middle East. This cinematographic production, still way too little disseminated and known in Europe, has been proposing broad and diverse readings on women's lives: readings for which female filmmakers whose approaches diverge from the hegemonic views have greatly contributed. It is this plurality of cinematographic views in the feminine and on the woman – different ways of questioning and expressing the polyphony of African and Middle Eastern worlds – that is intended to be discussed at this conference.
