Why is death the fate of many lesbians in audiovisual fiction? Is it really a repeating pattern? The Dead Lesbian Syndrome, a narrative cliché worked on by critics and theorists, is still present in films and series... But what are the reasons? What other narratives can be considered? We will find out in a round table where experts, professionals and the public will discuss the persistence of this phenomenon.

Participants:

• Lucía Vázquez Rodríguez. Researcher on Latin American queer women in film.
• Marta Pérez Adrohez. Psychologist specialising in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

Host: Eva Hernández, lecturer in audiovisual text theory at the Complutense University of Madrid.
