MARIA-MERCÈ MARÇAL CONFERENCE

MARIA-MERCÈ MARÇAL CONFERENCE

These conferences, held every two years, have been running for some time now. They focus on the life and work of Maria-Mercè Marçal both from an academic perspective, through an intimate congress attended by scholars and specialists from all over the world, and from a more creative point of view, with exhibitions, recitals and other activities that run parallel to the main conference. Each edition attempts to look at the work and figure of Marçal from a new perspective (politics, translation, tradition, art, etc.) and extend the geographical reach of her work (conferences have taken place in Sabadell, Barcelona, Valencia, Girona, Cambridge and Lleida). The conference proceedings are collected in the Quaderns de la FMMM.
