Symbolic Domination and Active Power: Femal Roles in Criminal Organizations,
2007
The article is focused on analysing the role of female figures in the mafia criminal organizations. Starting from a comparative analysis of the ways in which - over time - have changed the forms of manifestation of the female power and the male domination in specific criminal contexts (especially in the Cosa Nostra, but not only), we will consider the dialectic of visibility/invisibility, appearance/reality behind which hides the need to respond to the cliché for which the women must be strong but must appear weak; at the same time we will try to understand what are the forms of materialization of women’s power in these contexts and which are the circumstances that make possible their legit…

Introduction to the volume about women's migration presented from several different perspectives.
“Memorycide” and gender violence in a Society of Eastern Europe
2016
This research proposes to explore the nexus between “denied memory” or “wounded memory” and gender violence normalized in a symbolic level of production of meaning. For this respect, the following points will be analyzed: a) the perception of violence in intimate relationships of second generations post-conflict ; b) the impact of the “memory of war” on “cultural perception of violence” among generations of younger, adults and elder and between women and men of same generation. The central thesis of this essay is that in a post-war Serbian society, the memory is collectively “denied” because of Serbs’ stigmatization, and an increase of violent behavior and a greater incorporation of symboli…
Women on the Run: Human Suffering and Empowerment during Their Travel Towards Italy
2021
In Italy, in recent years, the attention to female in migration has been linked to the increase in the number of women who emigrate alone to look for work like men. Women who become breadwinners, provide economic resources for the needs of their families; women who give rise to chain migration, and also family reunions, in which husbands are reunited, to reach them. Women engaged in jobs that have an importance for the functioning of the receiving society, but also women who are present as refugees and asylum seekers, women on the increase in trafficking in human beings and trafficking for sexual exploitation. Women have always emigrated, but today in the Mediterranean countries they are in…
Violence against Women and Femicide: an analysis on the murders of foreign women in Italy
2022
AbstractThis paper presents the results of a research on the representations of femicide in the judicial field, in Italy. The use of the term femicide is analysed through the lens of the normative process, examining its social meanings and questioning its political and economic anchoring using the “juridical field” model (Bourdieu 1986). The essay is based on a wide theoretical framework. It starts by highlighting the problems evoked by the term ‘femicide’ (Corradi, et al. 2016; Radford and Russell 1992); its declension in criminal law and jurisprudence through its coding in specific types of offence (Merli 2015). The topics of power and imbalance between the sexes (Goffman 1977) are analys…
The Metaphor of the Flâneuse: Remembering the Committed Nomadic Existence of Michèle Roberts
2009
Shape-Shifting Tales. Michèle Roberts's Monstrous Women
2010
The book provides an analysis of the representation of women’s bodies and their monstrous metamorphoses in selected short stories by contemporary English writer Michèle Roberts. The author explores the relationship between traditional fairy tales such as the Grimm Brothers’ and Charles Perrault’s, the lives of female saints and Roberts’s counter-narratives, focussing on the analysis of images of sublimed fleshliness and of acts of monstrous violence on the body. The book takes into account relevant Women’s Studies criticism regarding the mother-daughter relationship, as Roberts’s stories question the role of mother figures in traditional fairy tales and hagiography and at the same time rewo…
Una dama dell'architettura a Palermo
2020
Questo saggio riguarda l’attività di una donna che può essere considerata una delle prime protagoniste e probabilmente, parafrasando Nikolaus Pevsner, una delle prime pioniere del Movimento Moderno a Palermo, un contesto culturale complesso. Il difficile ruolo della donna nell’architettura italiana degli anni ’60 e ’70, proveniente dai retaggi del regime fascista, è stato particolarmente palese in Sicilia dove l’attività professionale era soltanto praticata da uomini. Tra le pochissime donne operanti e militanti è certamente da ricordare Luciana Natoli le cui opere e gli scritti definiscono, in quel periodo, un carattere identitario al territorio siciliano. Per comprendere compiutamente la …
