Literary Utopias
In my paper I point out that the study of literary utopias has been and still is a constant focus on my scientific research. It has accompanied me in different historical and political contexts, helping in analysing and interpreting their complexity. The metaphor I use is that of Utopia as a tree with deep roots from which many branches spread out. In my first book on this topic, I suggested that Utopia could be considered on the whole as a liter…
Utopia from Text to Interpretation
Lyman Tower Sargent is one of the few scholars and intellectuals I have met whose research and studies are embodied in their actual life, since for him the values of utopianism (equality, peace, elimination of poverty, a harmonious life wherein a balance between the mind and the body is ultimately achieved) constitute the base and foundation of his personal and political choices. My essay is a personal reflection on his life and scholarly work
Gender Models, Alternative Communities and Women's Utopianism
Gilberta Golinelli's book is set within an important area of utopian studies that, from the 1990s, also via archival studies (Kate Lilley, Marina Leslie, Nicole Pohl, Oddwar Holmesland, Christine Rees, and Alessa Jones), started to focus on the numerous utopias penned by women in the early modern English period. The book, significantly titled Gender Models, Alternative Communities and Women's Utopianism, analyzes some of the utopian writings by M…

Quando la fantascienza è donna
Quando la fantascienza è donna (When Science Fiction Is Female) by Eleonora Federici is a book of many merits: its theoretical framework is informed by recent perspectives from gender studies, it boasts an extensive bibliography, and it is written in captivating and accessible prose. It is an intelligent book that fills an important gap in the literature, as few works on women science fiction writers have been published in Italian. Indeed, while …
Aldous Huxley
Alessandro Maurini's book follows in the stream of a series of recent studies that have attempted to reread Aldous Huxley's thought, highlighting the extent to which, especially in his later essays (collected in The Human Situation, 1959) and his novel Island (1962), he expressed ideas and proposals that were to become extremely topical in the latter half of the twentieth century and the first decades of the twenty-first. Read from this perspecti…
Italian Research on Utopia and Utopianism
This article on utopian studies in Italy starts by focusing on two collaborative projects: The Dictionary of Literary Utopias and the Histoire transnationale de l'utopie littéraire et de l'utopisme (Transnational History of Literary Utopias and Utopianism), coordinated by Vita Fortunati and Raymond Trousson, which involved scholars from Italy and worldwide. It further describes the interests, activities, and publications of two research centers—b…
Memories and Representations of War
The contributors to the present volume approach World War I and World War II as complex and intertwined crossroads leading to the definition of the new European (and world) reality, and deeply pervading the making of the twentieth century. These scholars belong to different yet complementary areas of research – history, literature, cinema, art history; they come from various national realities and discuss questions related to Italy, Britain, Germ…
