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.
