“Dirsi lesbica oggi? Lesbofobia nei media italiani tra indicibilità e invisibilità”
2014
Se storicamente le lesbiche sono state quasi interamente assenti, patologizzate e marginalizzate nella rappresentazione discorsiva pubblica, in tempi più recenti si è assistito ad una loro maggiore presenza in TV e in riviste di larga diffusione. Negli ultimi dieci anni infatti sono usciti diversi romanzi e film che includono rapporti tra donne. Tuttavia, tale maggiore visibilità non ha portato ad una maggiore dicibilità dell’identità lesbica, poiché le relazioni tra donne continuano ad essere associate a comportamenti patologici, alla malattia e a diverse forme di abiezione; inoltre, le loro relazioni sono quasi sempre puntualmente destinate a fallire. Allo stesso tempo, in tempi recenti a…

Crossing Boundaries: Bodily Paradigms in Jeanette Winterson’s Fiction 1985-2000
2008
Since the publication of her first novel, Jeanette Winterson has been acclaimed as one of the most promising writers on the English postmodern literary scene. This study takes into consideration seven works, from Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985) to The PowerBook (2000) in which Winterson codifies bodies as culturally constructed signs which can be re-signified and transformed. The strategies she adopts to remodel the body reveal a narrative itinerary that goes from the assertion of the lesbian body of the protagonist in Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit to the virtual bodies of the interactive world in The PowerBook. Winterson works out new body paradigms to subvert the effects of social …
Richard Francis Burton. Victorian Explorer and Translator
2012
This volume offers a critical insight into the life and work of the controversial Victorian explorer and translator Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890). Analysis focuses on his travel accounts and erotic translations, which both re-elaborated and challenged dominant Victorian discourses on race, gender and sexuality, generating controversies in the fields of anthropology, sexology and medicine. The premise of the study is that Burton entertained an ambiguous relationship with the colonial institutions: on the one hand, he pursued the colonial project, while on the other, he was an irreverent outsider who clashed with the imperial authorities. As this investigation reveals, he defied British …
‘Here there is no why’: Creating Life from Death in Martin Amis’s Time’s Arrow, or The Nature of the Offence
2012
During the 1990s, British writers paid a growing attention to the controversial subject of the holocaust. Their interest was a response to the long-standing debate on the possibilities of representing the tragic collective experience of concentration camps in art and literature. On this point, Theodor Adorno asserted that art can only have a marginal role, since it runs the risk of “aestheticizing”, de-historicising and even giving meaning to the devastating experience of an entire community of people. More recently, in an interview-discussion centred on Adorno’s theory, Martin Amis pointed out that art has instead the power and the responsibility to keep memory alive and to make individual…
