Kawakami Mieko: Breasts and eggs

On this episode, we talk about Breasts and Eggs, by Japanese novelist Kawakami Mieko. Jordi Serrano-Muñoz applying a gender perspective to its reading, argues that this work explores questions addressing the pressures and beauty expectations on women, a violence sometimes executed and reproduced by women themselves. This podcast, which is part of the Lectures resistents (Resistant Readings) catalogue, has been supported by the Interuniversity Council of Catalonia within the framework of the innovation grants for improving teaching quality in the field of gender-based violence (INDOVIG 2023). Lectures resistents is a project of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), coordinated by Teresa Iribarren.
