A conference given by Inma Doval will be the start of a new edition of the series 'Aula aberta'
March 23rd 2023, 19:30h
AC Alexandre Bóveda (A Coruña)

The series, organized by ILLA with the collaboration of Agrupación Cultural Alexandre Bóveda, will take place between March and June. 


The conference, titled 'A proxección cultural das poetas galegas nas redes sociais dixitais: catro casos representativos', is based on the consolidation that social media facilitates communication and relationships between people. At the same time, it envolves the creation of a new public space that allows the (re)presentation of the self, on many times with a performative character.

In this speech, it will be analysed the projection of contemporary Galician authors (Helena Villar Janeiro, Dores Tembrás, Afra Torrado and Estíbaliz Espinosa) on social media, how these authors use social media to (re)present themselves in front of a multiple and heteregoneous audience and how they create a cohesive and (auto)biographical space for the development and recovery of the individual and colective memory. It will be shown how the authors use these public spheres linked as cyber activism and empowerment places with the aim of building the dominant discourse.
