This time, we will show two films on the theme of “female genital circumcision”. The first film is “Moolaade” directed by Ousmane Sembene. The second one is “Warrior Marks: Female Genital Mutilation and the Sexual Binding on Women” by Alice Walker and Pratibha Parmar. Both films stand in a position to go against the practice of female genital mutilation, but they differ in other positions such as placing women’s subjectivities and perspectives towards the societies, etc. Open discussion will be held with comments by Dr. Oka Mari (Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies, Kyoto University), who specializes in discourse analysis and literature on women in the Third World.
