In Elena Ferrante's acclaimed Neapolitan Novels, Lila disfigured her wedding photograph, masking it with black tape; in The Days of Abandonment, Olga cuts and pastes family photographs into a "monstrous collage"; and in Troubling Love, Delia draws over her mother's passport photo to sketch a self-portrait. Join Stiliana Milkova, Professor of Comparative Literature, for a talk exploring Ferrante's novels through the figures of creative women who manipulate mediums of visual representation to challenge male artistic practice and the male gaze from within their oppressive patriarchal society.
