11.“Orlando, où es tu?” Paul Beatriz Preciado’s Non-Binary Reading of Virginia Woolf

Andrea Raso Issue: Category: Open Contributions

by Andrea Raso

This article examines the positive influence that Paul Beatriz Preciado’s non-binary interpretation of Virginia Woolf’s oeuvre may have on Woolf studies in Italy, particularly when compared to readings developed by scholars aligned with the philosophy of sexual difference. By placing Woolf in dialogue with queer, trans, and non-binary discourses, Preciado expands the modernist writer’s legacy, reframing works such as Orlando (1928) as material-semiotic sites of ontopolitical and ethical inquiry.

12.“The Actress Who Got Slapped the Most”: Monica Vitti’s Body as a Space of Conflict in Italian-Style Comedy (1969-1975)

Giulia Simi Issue: Category: Open Contributions

By Giulia Simi

Through the analysis of some of the characters played by Monica Vitti in the context of the Commedia all’italiana, the paper aims to explore the connection between the construction of the new women’s gender subjectivity and the male violence in the early years of Italian Neo-feminism. In particular, the analysis will focus on Amore mio aiutami (Alberto Sordi,

10.The Redemption of Eve: The Decameron as New Genesis

Brittany Asaro Issue: Category: Open Contributions

by Brittany Asaro

Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron (1349-51) has long been regarded as a secular celebration of humanity. Yet, his choice of title—a play on hexameron—frames his short story collection as a gloss on Genesis. In this essay, I argue that the author’s reevaluation of scripture is an essential part of his vision of a post-plague society in which gender roles have been redefined. Boccaccio challenges traditional interpretations of the biblical account of humanity’s creation and fall,

11.A Case in Transformation: Gender Bender Festival, from Cinema to Dance

Dianora Hollmann Issue: Category: Open Contributions

by Dianora Hollmann

This article examines the interdisciplinary festival Gender Bender, based in Bologna, Italy. Since its first edition in 2003, the festival has centered cinema as its core discipline, and from 2014, it introduced a new key section dedicated to contemporary dance. This case study investigates the shift in the festival’s programming, which is now more focused on dance than cinema, and explores the potential for dual positioning within both the film festival circuit and contemporary dance networks.

11.Vestiti semimaschili in Silent Cinema

Robert A. Rushing Issue: Category: Open Contributions

by Robert A. Rushing

Following Laura Horak’s recent work (Girls Will Be Boys) on cross-dressing in early American film, this article examines, in some detail, three Italian silent films that make use of female-to-male cross-dressing: Histoire d’un Pierrot (1914), Filibus (1915), and Justitia (1919). Such films might be celebrated as subversive moments in the past in which more rigid gender norms were contested,
