El 'Journal du voleur' de Jean Genet. Una experiencia literaria sin voluntad de recepción
2017
La experiencia literaria de Jean Genet está marcada por el aislamiento y la soledad de la cárcel. La experiencia del mal a través del crimen y la búsqueda de la virtud están presentes en el Journal du voleur. En el presente artículo estudiamos algunos de los aspectos estéticos que se observan en una escritura que es practicada como ascesis y que se manifiesta en una obra que no presenta voluntad de recepción alguna, pero que la encuentra paradójicamente a través de una canonización involuntaria. Jean Genet’s literary experience is marked by the isolation and loneliness of jail. The experience of evil through crime and the pursuit of virtue are both present everywhere in the Journal du voleu…
"She's straight, you delusional cunt!" : a study on bullying and homophobia in online fandoms
2016
Tämä kandidaatintutkielma käsittelee seksuaalisten vähemmistöjen syrjintää ja nettikiusaamisen esiintymistä internet-faniyhteisöissä. Edelliset tutkimukset kertovat nettikiusaamisen olevan haitallista ja vaikuttavan uhrien mielenterveyteen – usein jopa enemmän kuin kasvotusten tapahtuva kiusaaminen. Tutkielmaa varten tehty nettikysely suunnattiin “femslash”-faniryhmille. Näiden ryhmien median kulutukseen kuuluvat esimerkiksi tv-ohjelmien naishahmojen väliset (romanttiset) suhteet ja näistä suhteista puhuminen sekä eri materiaalien (kuten kuvien, videoiden ja fanifiktion) luominen ryhmien henkilöiden kesken. Kyselyn perusteella oli tarkoitus saada selville, miten yleistä näiden ryhmien kokem…
Queer types in ancient India. The categorisation and representation of non-heterosexual individuals in some passages of Vedic literature
2022
Vedic culture has used a variety of terms to denote male individuals who do not fit within the canons of the heterosexual norm. Often, in the past, Vedic philology has provided homologating translations of these terms from outdated cultural constructs and imagery, which have often reduced differences to univocal meanings. In order to understand non-heteronormative sexualities and sexual practices, I have adopted in this study an approach based on the idea of the construction of the concept of gender and which aims to describe behaviour beyond definitions. The analysis of the semantic and conceptual domains identified by the different terms within the Vedic texts, as well as of the history o…

Vivere come donne in India: l'insolito genere delle comunità hijra
2021
The study aims to investigate the history and practices that characterize hijra communities in India in order to shed light on the specific reality of these heterogeneous communities of individuals who are placed outside the heteronormative identity codes, but who have historically been included within Indian society, with very specific roles, thanks to the elaboration of the notion of tṛtīya prakṛti (third gender). However, historical events, especially since the British colonial period, have made the position of hijras increasingly marginal: the various forms of discrimination and violence, which take place within the family of origin, the health system, and society in general, were furth…
