\n

Few subjects will be as universal as motherhood, with which perhaps only death can rival. The history of motherhood is therefore almost as old as the world itself. Often secondary figures, less often protagonists, maternal figures often occupy key roles in the different narrative trajectories. Considering the unbreakable bond, the blood kinship, that they establish with their sons or daughters, maternal figures enjoy a privileged position from which conflicts can be brought to the textual surface. On the other hand, mothers are traditionally expected to manifest a set of values and behaviors, whose transgression meets one of the most important vocations of literature, the exploration of setbacks. In addition, the maternal characters are likely to illustrate social, historical, religious, and ethical aspects of the cultures in which they are conceived, and are therefore an important source of access to the ideologies of motherhood in force at the time the texts were produced. Maternal figures, then, are a fertile object of study, being able to show and convey a wide range of cultural meanings.<\/p>\n

Despite the universality of the theme of motherhood, its aesthetic realizations are always particular and individual. For this reason, this cycle of four seminars in the month of May aims to highlight the centrality of maternal characters in different literatures, problematizing from an immanent perspective the role that these characters have to play in the texts in which they are drawn and, at the same time, to perspective them as autonomous forces integrated in a broader cultural system with transtextual and transhistorical implications.<\/p>\n
