“I due volti di Eva”. L’educazione al femminile nella filmografia italiana degli anni Cinquanta.
2018
Attraverso lo studio della filmografia italiana degli anni Cinquanta, è possibile ricostruire le identità di genere che, in un tempo così attraversato da profonde trasformazioni, si andavano ridefinendo. Infatti, in questo periodo nasceva e si sviluppava il cinema di massa, che diventava il principale terreno di azione culturale: strumento di costruzione dell’identità collettiva ed esperienza condivisa che creava legami, esso era soprattutto uno spazio educativo. In particolare, il cinema registrava il profondo mutamento in corso dell’identità femminile e del rapporto tra i generi, a volte ostacolandolo, altre volte anticipandolo o favorendolo. I due generi cinematografici più popolari di q…
Intersex condition and the construction of gender identity.
2015
Intersexuality is conceptualized as a disorder of sexual development (DSD), which includes congenital conditions associated with atypical chromosomal, gonadic and anatomic sexual development. DSD can be diagnosed at birth as a result of observation of ambiguous genitalia, or, in adolescence, if sexual development diverges from the assigned gender. Some DSD can only be recognized in adulthood as a consequence of reproductive difficulties. In children and adolescents with DSD, gender identity is strongly influenced by atypical sexual development. The comparison between two management models of DSD, the optimal gender policy and a holistic perspective focused on the individual, highlighted the…

2017
This essay aims to describe the notions of sexual and gender identity by exploring its educational meanings. It starts by offering definitions to common terms such as sex and gender. In particular, sexual identity is determined by the biological and physical differences between male and female, the biological explanation doesn't allow ample possibility to interpretation or individual choices. On the other hand, gender identity indicates masculinity and femininity as socially devised categories. In some aspect, gender and sex are very different concepts, so that we can suggest that sex is linked to anatomical, biological and physiological characteristics, whereas gender is related to roles a…
L’identità sessuale LGBTQI+. Processi sottesi tra vissuti e percezioni degli adolescenti
2022
Adolescence is one of the phases of the family life cycle which is characterized by a fluctuating mix of emotions through changes, evolutions and discoveries; a continuous search for their spaces, their places, their borders and the characteristics of their identity. If this continuous research is combined with a sexual identity that differs from the strongly cisnormal and heteronormed models of contemporary society, the “coming out” of adolescents who belong to the LGBTQI+ community is difficult to manage.
