Workshop discussion: Beyond the veil: Facets of female emancipation For us in the West, the veil and emancipation are all too quickly mutually exclusive. But emancipation has many faces - also in literature. How is it shaped in the works of female authors whose culture is supposedly shaped by the veil and the role models that go with it? With: Raja Alem (Saudi Arabia/FR) Fariba Vafi (Iran) Moderator: Sandra Kegel We recommend arriving 30 minutes before the start of the workshop discussion.

"We should all be feminists"! Feminismus für alle? Abschlusspodium "We should all be feminists" fordert die nigerianische Autorin Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie mit provozierender Selbstverständlichkeit.

Mit: Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor (Kenia) Claudia Pineiro (Argentinien) Laksmi Pamuntjak (Indonesien) Fariba Vafi (Iran) Moderation: Barbara Wahlster
