5.Il dibattito sull’intersezionalità in Italia

Maura Gancitano December 31, 2022 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) Category: Invited Perspectives

by Maura Gancitano

With the advent of social networks, many people in Italy began to know and spread the idea of intersectionality, creating a critical mass that disseminates content on feminism, rights struggles, and the intersection of oppressions. 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, Maura Gancitano analyzes the debate on intersectionality in Italy.

6.Intersezionalità, posizionamento e studi critici della bianchezza

Gaia Giuliani December 31, 2021 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) Category: Invited Perspectives, Videos

by Gaia Giuliani

Intersectionality as an episteme, an epistemology, and a method, is essential to the black feminist project of fracturing Universalism within a feminist debate that is totally dominated by US white feminists. Thus, it is necessary to make the peculiarity of black women’s condition emerge. Within the deconstructive project of postmodern feminism, intersectionality becomes necessary to enable feminist scholars and activists to investigate constructions of normative white heteropatriarchy. In order to understand Italy as a fast-changing context and,

Mariana Eugenia Califano December 31, 2021 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) Category: Invited Perspectives, Videos

by Mariana Eugenia Califano

What do the names of streets tell us? What story do they tell, and why do they tell it? Can toxic narratives resulting from revisionism be defused? Contrade Ribelli is a short film, made almost exclusively with archival images from Resistenze in Cirenaica in collaboration with Solipsia, that tells the path of the permanent cultural site in Bologna, the genesis of the odonomastic guerrilla warfare,

Mariana Eugenia Califano and Jadel Andreetto December 31, 2021 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) Category: Invited Perspectives

Mariana Eugenia Califano and Jadel Andreetto

Since the birth of nation-states in Europe, the politics of memory and oblivion have played a decisive role in the construction of a national identity, presumably shared by the majority of citizens. The conflict generated between contrasting memories is also expressed in places and their odonyms, in the spaces crossed daily by the selves and others orphaned of a mutual recognition. The toponymy that celebrates a determined event,

7. Side by Side: Female Collaboration in Ferrante’s Fiction and Ferrante Studies

Stiliana Milkova February 21, 2021 Issue: g/s/i 7 (2020) Category: Invited Perspectives

by Stiliana Milkova

This essay proposes that Elena Ferrante’s novels depict female friendship and collaboration as a literal and metaphorical positioning side by side that dislodges the androcentric, vertical hierarchies of intellectual labor, authorship, and (re)production. Further, it argues that the collaborative female practices in Ferrante’s fiction have engendered––or brought to light––collaborative female and feminist projects in Ferrante Studies and outside academia establishing a legacy of creative and authorial women. Thus a double creation of female genealogies is at work within Ferrante’s novels and in the critical field that studies them.
