Tamara Tenenbaum in conversation with César Andrés García Sánchez
–
UAQ, Auditorio de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales
In order to understand Un millón de cuartos propios (2025 Paidós Prize) by Tamara Tenenbaum, we must go back to mid-2022, when the Argentinean writer was asked to translate Virginia Woolf’s famous book, A Room of One’s Own. Against this background, she proposes a re-reading of the classic work in order to reflect on the current situation of women. Her view is that even a major landmark of feminism such as Woolf’s deserves an update, a hundred years after it was first published. In conversation with César Andrés García Sánchez.

It is not enough to feel antiracist or feminist. Racism and sexism must be fought actively in our communities, in our homes, on the Internet. However, it is only right that we wonder when and how to do it. These are questions that are tackled by the feminist and antiracist activist Jumko Ogata (Mexico), who will explain to us how to take steps against these structural evils in our society. She is the author of the practical guide ¡Quiero ser antirracista! and she has contributed to the anthologies Tsunami 2 and Hermanas del ñame.
