Gender and History in Modern Cypriot Writing, Hellenic Centre, 16 March, 7 pm

Gender and History in Modern Cypriot Writing. A female take on Cypriot History: The case of three contemporary women authors

The lecture aims to provide an overview of contemporary fiction written by Cypriot women and, more specifically, look into the works of Constantia Soteriou, Nasia Dionysiou, and Louiza Papaloizou.

Stavrini Ioannidou and Nikoletta Hadjipavlou discuss how the trauma of Cypriot history is explored and filtered through the lens of gender and memory in prose and poetry of post 1960 Cyprus and how poets reconstruct the past through the lens of the present.

Organised in collaboration with the Society for Modern Greek Studies and supported by the A. G. Leventis Foundation.
