A Call to Arms for the Earth. Environmental Poetry in Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific Islands
Poetry is a major artistic expression in New Zealand and Pacific culture, including a longstanding tradition of indigenous oral literature. Besides its many functions, it can also have a crucial militant role. In the present climate emergency, the potential of oral and written poetry for environmental activism has been rediscovered: “poet-performers” have risen as militant figures that write verses and act them out on websites, during public perf…

Chris Baker’s Kokopu Dreams
The global pandemic, with its multiple and far-reaching disruptions, has forced us to rethink and rewrite the world we live in. Chris Baker’s novel Kokopu Dreams (2000) sounds somehow prophetic today in the aftermath of the Covid-19 crisis. His work could be labelled as “speculative fiction” and placed among the umbrella categories of magic realism, science fiction and post-apocalyptic fiction. Set in Aotearoa New Zealand, the story focuses on th…

Ecofeminism from a Māori Perspective
The mana wāhine movement can be seen as a Māori version of ecofeminism. This definition, however, limits its valence and profound meaning, which can be understood only in the light of a different cultural paradigm. The poetry collection Tātai Whetū, in Māori and English, translated into Italian in the volume Matariki, sciame di stelle, exemplifies writing in the tradition of mana wāhine, that is, a literary genre that inflects political activism,…
Occupational Exposure in the Lombardy Region (Italy) to Sars-CoV-2 Infection
Sero-epidemiological surveys are valuable attempts to estimate the circulation of SARS-CoV-2 in general or selected populations. Within this context, a prospective observational study was conducted to estimate the prevalence and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in different categories of workers and factors associated with positivity, through the detection of virus-specific immunoglobulin G and M (IgG/IgM) in serum samples. Enrollees were div…
