Ombretta Frau, Juliet Guzzetta Issue: Category: Invited Perspectives

by Ombretta Frau and Juliet Guzzetta

We envisioned this Invited Perspectives section as a space for dialogue with Italian public intellectuals from different political backgrounds, experiences, and even evolving positions.

Our goal for this section was to discuss women and feminism in Italy in a succinct and direct manner following Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s historic election.

6.La sessuopolitica del porno: L’hard di Silvio Bandinelli e Mario Salieri

Pietro Adamo Issue: Category: Invited Perspectives

by Pietro Adamo

In the twentieth century many historians, philosophers, psychologists, and sociologists have emphasized the relationship between sexuality and politics, giving in the meantime a new sense—much more political—to pornography and its historical developments. But pornography, especially after its almost worldwide legal legitimation (between Sixties and Eighties), seems to present a singular antinomy: on the one hand the various pornographic practices—writing, movies, live performances, photos—seem to enforce a liberationist ideology, aimed against traditional ways of looking to sexuality,

7.Cosa resterà di questi anni porno? Fenomenologia della post-pornografia fra tv e Twitch

Bruno Surace Issue: Category: Invited Perspectives

by Bruno Surace

If the context of online cultures has definitively reshaped the way in which online content is produced and enjoyed, this also applies to mainstream pornography. This is rapidly passing (or has passed) from a “traditional” fruition context to a new “post-pornographic” structure, in which live streaming through webcams and one-to-one customized content replace the classic tube sites. These new pornographic dynamics, certainly consolidated in the pandemic context, take on a particular cultural relevance when they are subjected to processes of effective normalization of porn,

8.Interview with Teresa Ciabatti: The Least Beloved, The Most Free

Marta Cerreti Issue: Category: Invited Perspectives

by Marta Cerreti

In January 2022, I met with Italian contemporary writer Teresa Ciabatti to discuss her latest works and her experience as a woman writer in a male-dominated industry. By drawing on Ciabatti’s best-known work La più amata (2017), the title of this interview addresses a common issue for women writers: they are welcome in the literary industry provided they follow the established rules. Since 2017, Teresa Ciabatti has continuously broken conventions,

5.Il dibattito sull’intersezionalità in Italia

Maura Gancitano Issue: 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,

6.Intersezionalità, posizionamento e studi critici della bianchezza

Gaia Giuliani Issue: 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.

8.Contrade Ribelli

Mariana Eugenia Califano Issue: 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,
