Women and the Catalan Separatist Movement
ActiveDescription
"My dissertation will contribute to the project “Gender, Borders, Memory“ (GBM). GBM, which is part of the Research Unit Borders of the “Scripts Cluster of Excellence“, analyses the relationship between gender, historical memory, and contestations of the liberal (border) script in the context of the Catalan separatist movement. The thesis will mainly investigate the development of the separatist movement throughout the last century. For the moment, it will follow three main focuses. Firstly, the relationship betweent women and the movement will be investigated. How were they represented in the discourses around Catalan identity and autonomy? How did they shape this discourse? Secondly, it will look at how Catalans tried to differentiate themselves from Spaniards, using issues of gender and gendered descriptors. Lastly, it will be analysed, in how far the mixture between feminist discussions and those surrounding Catalan identity might have contributed to the mass appeal the separatist movement has nowadays."
