  In this paper we propose and study topological and Hodge theoretic analogues
of Grothendieck's section conjecture over the complex numbers. We study these
questions in the context of family of curves, in particular Kodaira fibrations,
and in the context of the family of Jacobians associated to a Kodaira
fibration. We showed that in the case of family of curves, both the topological
and Hodge-theoretic analogues of the injectivity part of the section conjecture
holds, and that in the case of family of Jacobians, the topological analogue of
the surjectivity part of the section conjecture does not hold in general. For
family of curves, we also reduce the topological analogue of the surjectivity
part of the section conjecture to the case where the families have no algebraic
sections.
