Recognising Peace in History is, in these times, a task of great importance due to the very characterisation of the historical moment we live in. Women have been linked to Peace since the beginnings of our western society. First as a concept, image or symbol, and later as creators of peace discourses and actions.
In this conference we analyse the discourses and representations that link women with peace, or peace with women, from the dawn of Western history until the 20th century. It will cover the origins of the female conceptualisation of peace in Greek and Roman societies, its evolution and projection in the Renaissance, and the assumption and transformation of the discourse of peace by women when they began to take the floor. The different ways in which women have been represented as peace in texts and artistic expressions, the reasons that led them to become active creators of peace discourses, as well as their strategies and different ways of thinking about it and expressing it, will be discussed.
All of this, with the aim of contributing to solving, or helping to solve, one of the great challenges of our time: the peaceful and equal coexistence of the billions of people who inhabit the planet.
