Politiche dell’identità/identità politiche: Ascoltando Kae Tempest
Il saggio affronta il tema dell’identità nella cornice metodologica degli Studi culturali, utilizzando come filo argomentativo l’identità ‘donna’ e le sue diverse declinazioni dai femminismi degli anni ’70 alle attuali politiche queer. A partire dalla sentenza della Corte Suprema britannica del 2025, che esclude le donne che hanno seguito un percorso di affermazione di genere dall’Equality Act, il contributo mette in luce l’uso escludente dell’id…

Sguardi della differenza: Anne MacDonell ed Estella Canziani nell’Italia di mezzo
Il contributo offre una lettura trasversale di due scritture di viaggio ad opera di viaggiatrici inglesi che all’inizio del Novecento attraversarono le terre d’Abruzzo: In the Abruzzi di Anne McDonell (1908) e Through the Apennines and the Lands of the Abruzzi: Landscape and Peasant Life di Estella Canziani (1928).

Africa as Voices and Vibes: Musical Routes in Toni Morrison's Margaret Garner and Desdemona
This essay provides a tentative mapping of the musical Africa emerging from Toni Morrison’s two recent forays into musical theater, the opera Margaret Garner (2005) and the theatrical piece Desdemona (2011). Both works operate as affective events taking place in performance, and while neither is actually set in Africa, both enact a memory of pre-Middle Passage experience through music. Margaret Garner , set in the US, goes back to the slave woman…
Performing blackness in Caryl Phillips'sDancing in the Dark
This paper investigates the theatrical stage both as a walled-in space where ethnic difference can be safely experienced and consumed, and as a gateway for black performers to achieve public visibility and recognition as appears in Caryl Phillips’s novel Dancing in the Dark (2005). Phillips’s main character puts blackface on his own black skin to handle what Edward Said would name the “anxious power” of performance; this power becomes, in Phillip…
The Postcolonial Writer in Performance: J. M. Coetzee’s Summertime
This essay focuses on the elaboration of postcolonial literature as an event emerging from the interaction among the many and diverse agencies which allow the postcolonial work to come into being. This formulation both highlights the repetition of tropes in postcolonial literature and the variations to the tropes themselves, which can become ethically and politically relevant by creating an interruption in accepted notions of what a postcolonial …
Musical ‘Contact Zones’ in Gurinder Chadha’s Cinema
This article explores strategies of cultural representation in the production of Gurinder Chadha, a British director of Sikh origin. Chadha’s work is located in what Marie Louise Pratt defines as ‘contact zones’, negotiating between US, European and Indian audiences. The result is a directing style that puts together ‘East’ and ‘West’, Bollywood and Hollywood, in an in-between space that has been radically reconfigured through hybridization. This…
