The professor of the University of the Balearic Islands, Maribel Ripoll, elected by the Balearic government for the commemoration of the Llull Year, participates today, 23 January, at 19:00h in the Cultural Centre La Nau. She will give a conference about the female role in the art transmission of Ramon Llull. This conference is part of the activities carried out by the Escola Europea de Pensament Lluís Vives.
According to the professor Ripoll, “an important characteristic of the literary production of Ramon Llull is the form of addressing to the female figure, opposite to the common misogyny of the medieval context”. The conference will give an innovative view of the Majorcan author. “Although Llull has inherited some of the Aristotelian and scholastic topics, he considers that women are capable of learning and transmitting art, which is an original and innovative fact”.
