*Media and Sexual Violence*

October 7 to 11, 2024

CES | Alta (Coimbra, Portugal) >> applications until 31 July



*About*

The ‘Media and Sexual Violence’ School is an opportunity to reflect on how
we understand sexual violence from its representations in different media,
from different disciplinary perspectives and from the work of
community-based organisations. Its specific aim is to analyse how sexual
violence is mediatised in contemporary society, and, in this sense, it will
discuss practical and methodological research tools, as well as the ethical
dilemmas and challenges that mark cultural productions and journalistic
coverage. The School is being held as part of the UnCoveR project, the
first comprehensive transdisciplinary study of sexual violence in
Portuguese media landscapes. The project studies sexual violence as a
phenomenon framed by notions of sexual normativity, masculinity,
femininity, and power dynamics, which, in contexts such as Portugal, marked
by sexism, social hierarchies and colonial legacies, interact with notions
of race, ethnicity, religion, and nationality.

The five-day School includes lectures, seminars, workshops, a cultural
programme, a roundtable, a training session and focus groups. The speakers
and trainers will be members of the project team and consultants, as well
as journalists, activists, and professionals in the field of sexual
violence.
