Emili Marín.

The European School of Thought Lluís Vives of the office of the vice-principal for Culture and Society (UV) hosted a colloquium on the occasion of the launch of the book ‘Elogio de lo Vertical. El hombre como complemento imperfecto de la mujer’, by Emili Marín. In this book, the author intends to laud women and to vindicate their social potential.

The event, incuded in the set of conferences ‘Fòrum de Debats’, was presented by the author of the book. Among the participants were also **Ester Alba**, vice-principal for Culture and Society; **Nines Pastor**, retired Latin and Literature professor; and **Carmen Arjona,** trade unionist and politician. The title of the book references the collection of erotic books named ‘La sonrisa Vertical’ (‘The Vertical Smile’), promoted and edited by the filmmaker **García Berlanga**. The author wanted to make an allusion to him and took advantage of this metaphor to refer to the organic differeces between men and women.

Throughout the 25 chapters of his book, Emili Martí intends to capture the situation of women in different cultures and time periods under a critical gaze, and he concludes it with a compilation of women that have had a determinant role in the fight against social discrimination.

The on-site conference will be available at the La Nau YouTube channel.
