The city has traditionally been configured as a fundamentally masculine space, an ordered, rational, manmade expression, both literal and symbolic, of men’s intellectual and spiritual projects and ideals. In contrast, rural domains, metaphorical ?wild zones’, are associated with the natural, the non-rational, the feminine. This gendered perception of the city finds further reinforcement in the binary opposition of culture\/nature. It would appear to be men who found, plan, build and dominate cities \u00ab who constitute the City Fathers and Sons \u00ab while women figure far less frequently in cityscapes and feel less \u00bbat home \u00bb when they do. Yet, in 1405, Christine de Pizan wrote an allegorical account about women planning, building and living in an urban environment in Le livre de la cit\u00e9 des dames. This conference seeks to question and challenge many of the id\u00e9es re\u00e7ues surrounding women’s ongoing association with the private, the domestic, and the rural. Is the city environment inevitably hostile and threatening to (lone) women, an intimidating and dehumanizing force\u00ab Or, rather, does it represent a liberating space ? whether anonymous or sororal – of rich social and cultural horizons where women can self-determine \u00bb<\/span><\/div>\n

The conference draws together academics and postgraduates working in areas of French studies which include literature, history, and film, as well as the French feminist group ‘Genre et Ville’ whose activities centre on issues relating to women’s freedom of movement and their place in the urban landscape.<\/span><\/div>\n
