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.

3.Piazza dei Cinquecento in Igiaba Scego and Porpora Marcasciano

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.

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.

5.Il dibattito sull’intersezionalità in Italia

Maura Gancitano December 31, 2022 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) 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 December 31, 2021 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) 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 December 31, 2021 Issue: g/s/i 8 (2021) 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,
