Roberto Paolo Malaspina December 31, 2022 Issue: g/s/i 9 (2022) Category: Themed Section

by Roberto Paolo Malaspina

This contribution focuses on the symbolic form of the family—as a topos and stereotype of Italian culture—investigating its intersections with sexuality, cinematic, and post-pornographic representations. Starting from the analysis of the disciplinary family in Foucault, this article shows, through the lens of queer and performative gender theories, the possibility of disorienting the normative status of the family and its cinematic representations.

2.Il paradigma dell’intersezionalità: Migrazione e disparità lavorativa in Italia

Claudia Santoni December 31, 2021 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) Category: Themed Section

by Claudia Santoni

The essay traces the emergence of the framework of intersectionality in the evolution of feminist theory in a contemporary key. The intersectionality perspective allows us to identify the oppression of women in its various configurations, showing female subjectivities that differ in terms of ethnicity, culture, religion, race. All forms of inequality, therefore, have an intersectional character being the product of the interaction of different factors which then affect the opportunities and choices of individuals.

Alice Parrinello December 31, 2022 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) Category: Themed Section

by Alice Parrinello

Piazza dei Cinquecento, in Rome, is dedicated to five hundred Italian colonising soldiers who died in nineteenth-century Eritrea. Contributing to the national narrative, the piazza constructs them as mere heroic victims. Simultaneously, the piazza is central in two novels that challenge normative discourses on Italianness: L’aurora delle trans cattive (2018) by Porpora Marcasciano and La linea del colore (2020) by Igiaba Scego.

4.Linguistica intersezionale in Italia

Rosalba Nodari December 31, 2021 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) Category: Themed Section

by Rosalba Nodari

What does it mean to use the framework of intersectionality in linguistic analysis? Is it possible to apply it to Italian linguistics in a fruitful manner? To answer these questions, it is necessary to understand how and when the terms “intersezionalità / intersezionale” entered the Italian lexicon. To elucidate the history of these terms, this article makes use of various corpora comprising written sources in Italian as well as online databases.

by Diana Garvin

Under Mussolini’s dictatorship, both the physical abuses of a misogynist state and the political power of female friendship were written in the sensory details of agricultural workers’ everyday lives. This article uses archival and melodic evidence from the sensorial world of interwar Italy to explore four interlinked case studies, ultimately revealing what is at stake in women’s work songs. First, written testimonials and transcriptions from oral interviews show that, for many mondine,
