Panel discussion
Edition of the omitted
Speakers: Kalina Maleska, Sara Milenkovska, Hana Korneti, Katerina Ivanova
Moderator: Teodora Mileska
In collaboration with The Feminist Readers' Club, we have organized the panel discussion Edition of the omitted as part of the youth program on FIRSTBORN GIRL #9. We will talk about feminist literature, the female writer's perspective, and how to read a text through the prism of gender. The new generation of readers has a clear need for critical reading of the current feminist literature, debates, and discussions that differentiate from the classical academic reading of the works. Hence, we organized this debate to provide a platform for a broader debate on the new feminist readings. In the current social atmosphere, the feminist analyses of literary works mainly occur in closed circles, thus creating a new, alternative tradition of literary criticism. Through organizing debates and meetings, The Feminist Readers' Club creates its own space - safe and inclusive - for the readers who have a feminist and informed view of literary criticism.
