Summary/Abstract: How did we shape our reflection on women during the centuries? The workshop « Les représentations des femmes » (Women’s representations), organized by CRU (Centre de réussite universitaire) and held between March 20th and June 5th 2014, aimed to answer this question during several sessions focused on different centuries in order to highlight the contemporary representations on women. Held by teachers, researchers and students from Bucharest University (Ionela Băluţă, Oana Calen, Simona Necula, Theodora Eliza Văcărescu, Mihaela Stănică, Lidia Cotea, Daniela Rovența-Frumuşani, Alexandra Irimescu, Oana Bălută), the sessions were followed by a roundtable and an essay competition on the topic « Les représentations des femmes. Normes et transgressions » (Women’s representations. Norms and transgressions). The day was opened by poet, translator, essayist and art critic Magda Cârneci who gave a lecture on « Les féminismes dans l’art contemporain » (Feminism in contemporary art) and was closed by Her Excellency Joanne Lemay, Canada Ambassador in Romania who held a speech about the career of a female ambassador and offered the prizes to the winners of the essay competition. Five essays (Diana Curcă, Sorin Lazăr, Andreea Apostu, Alice Răduță, Carla Şuteu) were selected by the jury to be published in the The French Department’s Student Research Group Journal (RCSDLLF) of Bucharest University.
