Franca Viola’s story (re)told on paper and screen: Challenging patriarchy and mafia culture
In 1965, Franca Viola said ‘no’ to a reparatory marriage. Her decision to take her mafioso rapist to court had important consequences for Italian legal history and Italian women’s history, leading to the abolition, in 1981, of article 544 of the penal code which extinguished the crime of sexual violence with the matrimonio riparatore . Her case has inspired numerous books, plays and films over the years, which have exploited its potential for ima…
Hybrid identities: Māori Italians challenging racism and the Māori/Pākehā binary
New Zealand's indigenous Māori were colonized by the British (now referred to as Pākehā). Scant systematic investigation addresses bicultural/biracial identity for Māori who identify with ethnic groups other than Pākehā. Taking a narrative approach and applying thematic analysis, this paper explores interviews with forty-four Māori Italians, conducted in New Zealand in 2013. We show how Māori Italians negotiate the challenge of constructing posit…

Eleonora De Fonseca Pimentel e la rivoluzione napoletana: Una donna eccezionale tra storia, memoria e invenzione
Can an 'exceptional woman' of the past be a model for contemporary women and the subject of analysis of a gendered historiography? What were the norms which regulated the life of an exceptional woman such as Eleonora de Fonseca Pimentel (1752–1799)? How do the social, political, and cultural context and the ideological circumstances of those who write about her affect their representations? This article examines three texts on this historical fig…
Didattica della sessualità e del genere tra Svizzera, Gran Bretagna, e Italia
Per capire meglio sia gli sviluppi disciplinari che la didattica delle questioni della sessualità e del genere nelle università italiane e straniere, abbiamo chiesto ad alcune colleghe una riflessione sulle loro esperienze. Presentiamo qui di seguito lo scambio di idee che ne è scaturito, relativo a ciò che si è già fatto, ma anche a ciò che si vorrebbe fare

Women on the Italian literary scene: A panorama
Nature vs Culture: Repression, Rebellion and Madness in Elsa Morante's Aracoeli
In a recent volume on Italian women writers, two consecutive articles appear putting forward two diametrically opposed views of Elsa Morante's treatment of motherhood. Marise Jeuland-Meynaud claims that Morante upholds an essentialist view of women, who are reduced in her novels to instinct, irrationality and to the sole function of procreation.' Her work would thus endorse the nature/ culture opposition-one of the binary oppositions around which…
Narrative as Verbal Performance. Énonciation and Énoncé in a Short Story by Fabrizia Ramondino: ‘La Signora Di Son Batle’
Narrative as Verbal Performance. Énonciation and Énoncé in a Short Story by Fabrizia Ramondino: ‘La Signora Di Son Batle’
Fabrizia Ramondino (1936) is a writer whose prose conjures up a magical and mesmerizing world, which she scrutinizes in every detail and describes with a respect for authenticity which never falters. Whichever of her books we open, we are transported in the course of the first few sentences into a world which dazzles us by the precision with which it has been drawn. By the time we finish the book, we feel enriched and satisfied, but also resentfu…
