Michela Baldo, Fabio Corbisiero, and Pietro Maturi December 27, 2016 Issue: G/S/I 3 (2016) Category: Editorials, Themed Section, Invited Perspectives

by Michela Baldo, Fabio Corbisiero, and Pietro Maturi – Guest Editors

The guest editors’ introduction to the themed section focuses, on the one hand, on the resources that languages can draw on in order to adapt the use of grammatical gender to account for more equal relationships between men and women, and on the other hand on the fact that the use of the so-called “neuter masculine” in political and everyday discourses and in languages such as Italian,

Chiara Nardone December 27, 2016 Issue: G/S/I 3 (2016) Category: Themed Section

by Chiara Nardone

La presente ricerca si propone di analizzare se e in quale misura alcuni dei sostantivi femminili designanti ruoli e professioni siano ancora caratterizzati da un’asimmetria semantica peggiorativa rispetto ai corrispettivi maschili. L’analisi è stata effettuata su itWaC, uno dei corpora più ampi disponibili per la lingua italiana e si è concentrata in primo luogo sul numero di frequenze e sui collocati dei sostantivi analizzati. I risultati dimostrano che effettivamente i sostantivi segretaria,

2. Il femminicidio nella stampa italiana: un’indagine linguistica

Stefania Abis and Paolo Orrù December 27, 2016 Issue: G/S/I 3 (2016) Category: Themed Section

by Stefania Abis and Paolo Orrù

The perception of femicide and violence against women has known a constant evolution in recent years; both mass media and political and social actors tried to raise awareness on the issue. According to Diana Russell’s definition (the killing of females by males because they are females), femicide has to be considered as a social and political fact and not just as ordinary crimes: it represents extreme manifestations of male dominance over female.

Benedetta Zaccherini December 27, 2016 Issue: G/S/I 3 (2016) Category: Themed Section

di Benedetta Zaccherini

Molti sono stati gli studi che hanno osservato le variazioni del linguaggio maschile e femminile nel corso degli anni. All’interno di questo panorama, l’articolo vuole osservare eventuali caratteristiche tipiche del linguaggio maschile e femminile tra campioni intervistati nel Comune di Valsamoggia (Bologna), dall’infanzia (studenti di scuola primaria e secondaria di primo grado) fino all’età adulta (50 anni). La ricerca si è svolta nel periodo tra ottobre 2013 e gennaio 2014 ed è stata strutturata come intervista: agli informatori è stato chiesto di descrivere alcune immagini—agli adulti è stato sottoposto anche un cortometraggio—mentre venivano registrati.

4. Un linguaggio più inclusivo? Rischi e asterischi nella lingua italiana

Ilaria Marotta e Salvatore Monaco December 27, 2016 Issue: G/S/I 3 (2016) Category: Themed Section

di Ilaria Marotta e Salvatore Monaco

Il saggio si presenta come un excursus sociologico e socio-linguistico che permette di analizzare in maniera critica i limiti e le prospettive dell’utilizzo di un linguaggio non aperto alle differenze, intrecciando i piani delle identità e delle strutture linguistiche. Il linguaggio non svolge soltanto una funzione informativa, ma riesce a mostrare e ribadire anche l’ordine sociale. Il suo uso nel quotidiano identifica socialmente i soggetti, sostenendo le ideologie legate a ruoli,

5. Censoring The ‘Curious’ Minchia in Vitaliano Brancati’s Il Bell’Antonio: Intercultural Encounters and the Politics of Grammatical Gender

Marisa Escolar December 27, 2016 Issue: G/S/I 3 (2016) Category: Themed Section

by Marisa Escolar

Vitaliano Brancati’s Il bell’Antonio (1949), a novel of erectile and social disfunction in fascist Catania, has been translated three times into English, the most translated postwar Italian novel. Arguing that proliferation of Bell’Antonio’s in translation actually reinforces an Anglo-American perception of the Italian “inetto” (bungler), this article looks at the intercultural encounter produced in translation alongside an intercultural encounter in one of the novel’s many epigraphs,

Desire and Resistance in Two Poems by Aldo Palazzeschi

by Kristin Szostek Chertoff

Although sexuality has become a common theme in studies of Aldo Palazzeschi’s work, criticism has not yet fully explored how some of his earliest poems interact with the prevailing cultural assumptions and attitudes circulating when they were written and first published. This study approaches two poems—“Habel Nassab” (1909) and “I fiori” (1913)—that portray a poet protagonist’s emotionally disturbing encounter with a man who dominates through femininity,

The tragicomedy Turandot, brought to the stage by Carlo Gozzi in 1762, and the homonymous Puccinian melodrama, represented for the first time at the Scala in 1926,

Blue-Haired-Girl Mnemonic: Italian Sci-Fi Nirvana

by Roberta Tabanelli

This article analyzes the science fiction Italian film Nirvana (1997) directed by Oscar-winning Gabriele Salvatores. Specifically, Tabanelli proposes a gendered reading of the film focused on the character of Naima, a female hacker with blue hair and an implant in her forehead. The author claims that Nirvana’s closing scene, and in particular the last photogram, by re-configuring the characters’ roles in the story,
