The Language of Quakers: idioms, words and abbreviations
2010
The paper examines some of the words and expressions that have distinguished the members of the Quaker movement and helped to establish their religious identity. The Quaker lexicon has not remained unaltered in the course of three centuries. As is typical of most religious movements, also the Quakers have continually been adapting to social and cultural changes. This explains the existence of four relatively recent glossaries that account for the Quaker terms used in the twentieth century. The paper pays particular attention to "One Explorer's Glossary of Quaker Terms" by Warren Sylvester Smith (1985).

Eva Figes’s Remediation of The Book of Margery Kempe for BBC Radio 2
2017
In 1985, BBC Radio 2 broadcast the radio play The True Tale of Margery Kempe by contemporary writer Eva Figes (born 1932). The text is a remediation of The Book of Margery Kempe which recovers and gives new life to the tale of Margery Kempe re-instituting the memory of a long-lost manuscript and at the same time giving it back the original characteristics of orality. The narrative strategies adopted by Eva Figes in this adaptation for the radio of the medieval text are influenced by questions linked to the issue of the authorial voice. The transformation of the medium from written text to oral text for the radio gives Figes the opportunity, through directions to the actors, the use of monol…
"Rappresentazioni del corpo del colonizzato, riletture postcoloniali a confronto", Barbara Creed and Jeanette Hoorn (eds.), Body Trade, New York, Rou…
2003
Un'indagine interdisciplinare sulle raffigurazioni del corpo del colonizzato e del prigioniero, nel contesto del colonialismo europeo, in Australia e nel Pacifico, corre sul filo di questa raccolta di saggi, opera di autori di varie nazionalità e diversa formazione. I temi centrali di Body Trade, la mercificazione del corpo dell'Altro e le rappresentazioni del colonizzato, sono dibattuti con l'intento di riesaminare i miti della civiltà occidentale e del cannibalismo, attraverso l'analisi di un vasto repertorio di pratiche coloniali, prese a soggetto di romanzi, riviste, fotografie e film, tutte opere pubblicate lungo un arco temporale che si snoda dal Settecento ai giorni nostri.
Digital Spaces of Collaboration in Aesthetic Counter Narratives: Hamedullah. The Road Home and The Mirror Project
2020
Based on Margaret Somers’s senses of narrative and narrativity by means of which “we constitute our social identities (1992: 600), this study focuses on the scrutiny of two digital “subversive” aesthetic products, namely, British filmmaker Sue Clayton’s documentary Hamedullah. The Road Home (2012) and German philosopher Kevin McElvaney’s The Mirror Project (2017), with the objective of highlighting how the unfolding of verbal and visual narratives can be treated as the principle and “inescapable” (Baker 2006: 9) mode by means of which marginalised subjectivities “experience the world” (Baker 2006: 9) and can render it familiar to the Western gaze. The narratives revealed by the Afghan boy, …
Abordo del arca de la Señora Noé: los viajes imaginarios de Michèle Roberts.
2017
This article shows how Michèle Roberts portrays the characters in The Book of Mrs Noah as travellers in search for their identities and their dried out creative vein. The imaginary journey on board the Ark can be read as a process of self-empowerment and of acquisition of agency for Mrs. Noah and the other women, Roberts in fact denounces the role of the patriarchal system in silencing women’s voices in society and in literary representations.
