On Friday, February 23, the Faculty of Letters hosted the I Symposium Fathers, Mothers and Other Genealogies. This symposium's main objective was to reflect on the different representations of mother-child and father-child relationships in literature and their different cultural expressions, understanding these relationships (or the absence of them) as a constitutive element of any identity.

The plenary conferences were given by distinguished experts:

• Alfredo Martínez Expósito (University of Melbourne): "Modulations of paternity from the literature of sexual diversity: genealogies, lineages, inheritances"
• Josep M. Armengol (University of Castilla-La Mancha): "Genealogies and queer temporalities in contemporary Spanish literature and cinema"
• Verónica Leuci (University of Mar del Plata - CONICET): "Motherhood and images of women(s) in postwar poetry: visions in counterpoint"

The symposium closed with a conversation between anthropologist Mari Luz Esteban and writer Karmele Jaio.

On Tuesday, December 12, 2023, the Faculty of Arts will host a concert-recital of women's poetry. It is an event in which the singer Elena Aranoa (Zarautz, 1964) will present her new album 'Tú me quieres blanca', an album of original songs created on poems by Spanish women of the generation of '27 as well as several Ibero-American poets. In addition, a group of students will read poems in Spanish and Basque.

From 28 to 29 September 2023, the sixth edition of the international conference "Spaces for coexistence in German and European literature" - VI. Internationale Tagung Räume des Zusammenlebens in der deutschsprachigen und europäischen Literatur - was organised at the Faculty of Arts of the UPV/EHU.

From 2 to 4 November 2022, the sixth edition of the International Conference on Contemporary Spanish Literature: History, Ideology and Text in Spanish Poetry of the 20th and 21st Centuries was organised at the Faculty of Letters of the UPV/EHU.
