8.Interview with Teresa Ciabatti: The Least Beloved, The Most Free

Marta Cerreti Issue: Category: Invited Perspectives

by Marta Cerreti

In January 2022, I met with Italian contemporary writer Teresa Ciabatti to discuss her latest works and her experience as a woman writer in a male-dominated industry. By drawing on Ciabatti’s best-known work La più amata (2017), the title of this interview addresses a common issue for women writers: they are welcome in the literary industry provided they follow the established rules. Since 2017, Teresa Ciabatti has continuously broken conventions,

Consequently, people began to spread the idea that the fight against discrimination is a hypocritical whining, the result of an extreme susceptibility and the so-called “dictatorship of the politically correct.” In this article,

6.Rural Italy in Feminist Writing: Dialogism, Polyphony, and Heteroglossia in Armanda Guiducci’s La donna non è gente

Viviana Pezzullo Issue: Category: Themed Section

by Viviana Pezzullo

Armanda Guiducci’s La donna non è gente (1977) is a volume collecting related autobiographical narratives in which collaboration is the result of the dialogic, polyphonic, and heteroglot relationship between Guiducci and the women narrators she interviews. Guiducci’s work proves how the notion of singular authorship and language of noi is inadequate to capture the diversity of women’s struggles across Italy. In La donna non è gente, the narrators–women from rural areas of north and of south Italy–embody through the alternance of Standard Italian and regional and local dialects the dialectics between urban and rural spaces.

Alessandra Montalbano Issue: Category: Invited Perspectives, Videos

The last weekend of March 2019, Verona was at the center of media attention for having hosted the XIII World Congress of Families (WCF).

10. La fertilità è un bene comune? Il “Fertility Day” in una prospettiva storica

Claudia Mantovani Issue: Category: Invited Perspectives

The polemics that accompanied the launch of Fertility Day by the Italian Ministry of Health in 2016 call for a historical reflection on the nexus between health policies, demographic questions, and gender roles that characterize the Italian public debate on the theme of reproduction. In the first half of the twentieth century, interest in the new key term ‘eugenics’ revealed itself in function of the definition of its own role in new national institutions on the part of intellectuals from a medical/scientific background.
