Una è la forma, molti sono i nomi : scenari del sacro femminile tra la Sicilia e Creta
2022
Nei culti rivolti alle Madonne e alle Sante in Sicilia e a Creta, in particolare in quelli caratterizzati dall’ostensione e dalla manipolazione di fronde vegetali, dall’uso di acque salutifere, dal riutilizzo di antichi spazi cultuali (grotte, cime montuose, boschi), sembra continuino a reiterarsi modelli mitici e simboli rituali propri di un antico pattern del sacro femminile che, di volta in volta, disarticolato e rimodulato, si rivela tutt’altro che inattuale e che anzi continua a conferire senso alle molteplici e rinnovate istanze dell’esperienza religiosa contemporanea. Che si voglia ammettere ovvero respingere l’ipotesi di una relazione storica delle espressioni del sacro femminile e …
I do not intend to speak about; just speak nearby. Riflessioni di Geografia culturale per Lidia Curti
2021
This article introduces a reflection on personal journeys, of dialogues and readings, with Lidia Curti. What is feminine writing? And, what lies behind the screen of representation? These aim at highlighting their political and positional nature within a way of thinking inspired by geographical studies and the feminist thought. So, an attempt to create the bonds for a reflection on the meaning of writing and translation, and on the sense of identity and alterity is made through the voices of authors like Morrison, Devi, and Spivak. It is in the border writing of postcolonial authors that we find a ‘space of in-between’ that allows what has been removed – a testimony of the Mediterranean mat…
Wine and Women: A Focus on Feminine Consumption of Wine
2014
Continuous evolution of modern society provides changes in lifestyle and consumption habits, consequently reflecting on food consumption, where we can include the wine. In this context, even for wine there have been changes from the past to today, driving more and more consumers to think about this product less and less as a beverage and an more as a hedonistic and refined product.

Wine by the feminine side means the pleasure of enjo…
Las líderes silenciadas: el debate parlamentario sobre el sufragio femenino
2023
Durante los años de la II República, la mujer española experimenta una incipiente emancipación, sancionada por la Constitución de 1931, en la que se reconocía el voto de la mujer en condiciones de igualdad con el hombre (art. 36), aprobado el 1 de octubre. En el debate participaron dos de las tres diputadas de la Primera Legislatura de la República: Clara Campoamor (Partido Republicano Radical) y Victoria Kent (Partido Republicano Radical Socialista). Sus intervenciones, a favor y en contra respectivamente, constituyen el objeto de este trabajo. Para mi análisis, me he basado en el modelo de la lingüística pragmática de Fuentes Rodríguez y la organización en niveles de su análisis. Asimismo…
Gender-Typed Sport Practice, Physical Self-Perceptions, and Performance-Related Emotions in Adolescent Girls
2020
Youth sport experience provides opportunities for physical, personal, and social development in youngsters. Sport is a social system in which socially constructed gender differences and stereotypes are incorporated, and specific sport activities are often perceived as gender characterized. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between some salient physical and emotional self-perceptions and the type of sport practiced. A sample of 261 female athletes, aged 14–21 years (Mage = 15.59, SD = 2.00), practicing different sports, categorized as feminine (e.g., artistic and rhythmic gymnastics), masculine (e.g., soccer and rugby), or neutral (e.g., track and field and tennis),…
Why do Norwegian nurses leave the public health service to practice CAM?
2009
Accepted version of an article published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 15 (2009), 147-151 This paper explores a number of issues associated with the recent increase in nurses choosing to leave the Norwegian health care system in order to become independent practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The paper suggests that in Norway, nurses perceive medical hegemony continues to persist. Nurses perceive restrictions in their ability to develop their professional roles and status. CAM would appear to offer many nurses, the opportunity to develop their clinical skills in an autonomous, egalitarian and more holistic environment.
Frammenti di biografie plurali
2022
Ritorno a Palermo dopo tredici anni trascorsi in Umbria. Anni importanti in cui ho frequentato l’università laureandomi in filosofia e conseguendo un dottorato di ricerca; indagando sui temi del disagio psichico e della crisi della presenza in De Martino; sotto la guida di Tullio Seppilli, che di De Martino era stato allievo e il cui rigore nella ricerca è stato per me un esempio indimenticabile. Scappata a diciotto anni da una terra che mi aveva schiacciata con la sua violenza. In primo luogo sul versante privato. Una gelida brutalità di cui – quando sono andata via, determinata a non tornare – non percepivo fino in fondo i risvolti sul piano politico e della limitazione degli spazi fisici…
