This position paper critically engages with the formulation “New Queer South” that gives the title to a recent special issue of gender/sexuality/Italy.

10.Postcards from Sicily

Martina Martonsky Issue: Category: Invited Perspectives

by Martina Martonsky

Postcards from Sicily is a body of work started in 2021 that reimagines the figures of the monster and the animal—traditionally used to demonize women, queers, and Southerners—as guardians of an ancient, unruly power. Drawing from Mediterranean landscapes, the project explores the South as a space of queer, decolonial resistance, where hybrid and wild bodies exist unapologetically, in fierce intimacy with nature. Over time, the work has evolved into tracing a local cultural genealogy rooted in Greek mythology,

~Una ricerca sul campo: Università, scelte e pregiudizi linguistici

Catia Leonetti Issue: Category: Continuing Discussions

by Catia Leonetti

The primary objective of this sociolinguistic study is to investigate the notion of “verbosity” traditionally associated with women’s language. A secondary aim is to explore whether this stereotype influences women’s decisions to select certain university majors potentially leading them to assume they are naturally more talkative because of their gender. Specifically, the study asks whether there is a correlation between verbosity, gender, and the discursive nature of particular academic fields,
