4th Fenix Congress

The fourth Fenix- congress (2019) highlights the experiences of Spanish women refugees during transit in France in the 1930s and 40s. The reflection revolves around the concepts of ‘Agency’ and ‘Transnationalism’. The results of this encounter are published in the 7th Special Issue of the Fenix Network: The female face of refugee transit: Spanish Women Refugees in France (1936 – 1945) in Impossibilia. Revista Internacional de Estudios Literarios (N° 20, 2020).
