INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
WOMEN & NEW MEDIA IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION
ISIS CENTER FOR WOMEN & DEVELOPMENT
June 24, 25, 26,
2011 - Fez, Morocco - Palais des Congres
With the growing
dominance of the Internet, blog, chat and mobile telephony, the great "big
bang" of the new media has begun. Communication is rapidly changing and
becoming mobile, interactive, personalized and multi-channel. This
extraordinary revolution is affecting
the basic structure of Mediterranean societies, especially those in the south,
and is raising various discussions and debates that profoundly impact
women: the rapid transformation of the
boundaries between the public and the private spaces, the relationship between
new technology, orality and women’s literature, changes in the relationship
between written and oral languages, the increasing use of mother tongues
(mainly oral) in the field of education, and the challenges of new
transmissions of women’s
knowledges.
These issues are the five main axes
of the International Congress Forum on “Women and New Media in the
Mediterranean Region”, to be held on June 24, 25 and 26, 2011 at the

transformation of the relationship "gender and public space / private
