Hence, the motto of our conference is taken from Mieke Bal’s thesis on the use of narratology for cultural analysis where she defines narrative as a cultural attitude, and narratology as a perspective on culture. “What I propose we are best off with in the age of cultural studies is a conception of narratology that implicates text and reading, subject and object, production and analysis, in the act of understanding. In other words, I advocate a narrative theory that enables the differentiation of the place of narrative in any cultural expression without privileging any medium, mode, or use; that differentiates its relative importance and the The conference “Narratology and Its Discontents: effect of the narrative (segments) on the remainder of the object as well Narrating beyond Narration” is part of the scientific as on the reader, listener, viewer.

  • Feminist Mobilization and the Abortion Debate in Latin America: Lessons from Argentina
    Feminist Mobilization and the Abortion Debate in Latin America: Lessons from Argentina Mariela Daby Reed College [email protected] Mason Moseley West Virginia University [email protected] When Argentine President Mauricio Macri announced in March 2018 that he supported a “responsible and mature” national debate regarding the decriminalization of abortion, it took many by surprise. In a Catholic country with a center-right government, in which public opinion regarding abortion had hardly moved in decades—why would the abortion debate surface in Argentina when it did? Our answer is grounded in the social movements literature, as we argue that the organizational framework necessary for growing the decriminalization movement was already built by an emergent feminist movement of unprecedented scope and influence: Ni Una Menos. Through expanding the movement’s social justice frame from gender violence to encompass abortion rights, feminist social movements were able to change public opinion and expand the scope of debate, making salient an issue that had long been politically untouchable. We marshal evidence from multiple surveys carried out before, during, and after the abortion debate and in-depth interviews to shed light on the sources of abortion rights movements in unlikely contexts. When Argentine President Mauricio Macri announced in March 2018 that he supported a “responsible and mature” national debate regarding the decriminalization of abortion, many were surprised. After all, in 2015 he was the first conservative president elected in Argentina in over a decade, and no debate had emerged under prior center-left governments. Moreover, Argentina is a Catholic country, which has if anything seen an uptick in religiosity over the past decade, and little recent movement in public support for abortion rights preceding Macri’s announcement.

A pesar de esta aparente objetificación del cuerpo femenino, las espectadoras han conseguido disfrutar de las imágenes que consumen, reescribiendo mientras tanto la dicotomía masculino/dominación y femenino/sumisión que ha focalizado gran parte del debate en la teoría fílmica feminista. Cincuenta sombras de Grey es el caso reciente más debatido en torno a esta cuestión. La introducción de una sexualidad explícita a través de las prácticas sadomasoquistas y la recuperación de un tipo de romanticismo gótico es la base sobre la que se construye la relación entre Anastasia y Christian, situada a su vez en un contexto cosmopolita y neoliberal donde las mujeres disfrutan de los logros feministas pero nunca se reconocen como tales. No obstante, las representaciones en Cincuenta sombras no son discutidas solo por su carácter esencialista, sino también –y sobre todo –por encumbrar ideas asociadas a la cultura de la violación, hecho que cobra un especial interés si tenemos en cuenta que nos hallamos en una etapa de revitalización feminista, animada por el activismo a través de las redes sociales.
