Body Image Talks

| April 9, 2009 | Comments (0)

The Feminist Collective has started a series of talks on issues related to the female body in its personal, social, and political manifestations. The talks are hosted by writer and university teacher Lina Mounzer.

After a fantastic general discussion of issues related to the female body and the regulation of its appearance in all social contexts, Lina is back to host another talk on the “morality of food.”

What misconceptions are we made to believe about what our body looks like? What kind of relationships do women develop with food? Why is it that “good girls” must control their appetites? As noted by someone at the last discussion, her aunt would tell her 9-year-old daughter: “La2! ma fee ilik gateau.. mish sheyfi addayshik sayra?? and then tell her 10-year-old son: kole, 7abibi, to2borni kole ba3d ot3it gateau…”

The talk will take place at the Feminist House in Gemmayze and is open to all FC members and their friends (men and women).
