Forme di patrocinio, carità e fondazioni religiose femminili in Sicilia fra XIV e XV secolo

2017

Nel Medioevo le donne erano particolarmente attive nella beneficenza e attraverso le opere di carità ottenevano preghiere per sé e per i propri parenti. Dopo la rivolta del Vespro (1282) le nobildonne ebbero un ruolo importante nella fondazione e dotazione di monasteri femminili. Marchisia Prefolio, moglie di Federico Chiaromonte, fondò ad Agrigento il monastero cistercense di Santo Spirito. Nel suo testamento Benvenuta Mastrangelo, vedova di Guglielmo Aldobrandeschi, conte di Santa Fiora, ordinò di fondare a Palermo Santa Caterina. In the Middle Ages the duty to fulfill the work of mercy laid especially upon women. Charity allowed them to obtain prayers and masses for themselves and their …

Un beghinaggio a Lentini. Religiosità laica femminile in Sicilia tra XIII e XIV secolo

2018

Il saggio si propone di indagare alcune tipologie di spiritualità femminile presenti nell’isola tra Duecento e Trecento. Dall’analisi, condotta a partire da una prima ricognizione delle fonti edite e dalla scoperta di nuovi elementi frutto della ricerca d’archivio, viene fuori un panorama in cui le istanze di spiritualità femminile che compresero forme assimilabili a reclusione e beghinaggio, sembrano non essere riconducibili a un movimento consapevole e strutturato; frutto piuttosto di una casualità che vide alcune esuberanti donne talora non siciliane, mosse da una volontà di emancipazione in campo religioso, fondare o seguire nuove pratiche di devozione. The essay aims to investigate som…

Taxonomy of homicides of women in intimate partner relationships

2018

Intimate partner violence prevention is a challenge that has received wide international interest. Homicide is the most serious result of this type of violence, although its prevalence is low and its etiology is complex. This paper briefly reviews the description of the problem from a gender perspective and the existence of asymmetry, the perspective of violence and its description of differential risk factors, and the ecological model that connects personal, contextual, and societal variables, presenting a more integrative proposal. Studies analyzing and comparing homicide profiles are described, as well as the state of the art regarding risk assessment, with special attention to the impli…

Femmes lexicographes dans la première moitié du XXe siècle

2012

Alors que, même de nos jours, les auteurs de dictionnaires monolingues et bilingues portant un patronyme féminin sont extrêmement rares, pendant la première moitié du XXe siècle trois femmes publient un dictionnaire en France et en Italie avec plus ou moins de succès. Celui d’Ottavia Cesana (1912) est un dictionnaire de phraséologie, ceux de Faustina De Graziani (1916, 1917, 1958) et de « Mlle L. Marichy » (plusieurs réimpressions de 1940 à 1962) sont des dictionnaires généraux de poche. Dans les trois cas, leur rapport avec la langue semble figé sur des positions extrêmement conservatrices qui mettent en évidence un refus délibéré de codifier les modifications en cours de la langue et de l…

Association between Satisfaction with Life and Personality Types A and D in Young Women with Acne Vulgaris

2020

People with acne vulgaris report a lower level of satisfaction with life and are more frequently classified as having Type D personalities than those without acne. This research examined, for the first time, the moderating and mediating role of personality type in the relationship between acne severity and satisfaction with life. Among 300 female nursing and cosmetology students ranging in age from 19 to 24 years (M = 21.28, SD= 1.39), 150 individuals (50%) presented with symptoms of acne vulgaris (AV group), while the other 150 (50%) were categorized as controls without acne vulgaris (WAV sample). A cross-sectional study was conducted using three self-report questionnaires: The Satisfactio…

Sports, morality and body: the voices of sportswomen under Franco's dictatorship

2016

The aim of this research is to study sportswomen’s perceptions and experiences of women’s sport in Francoist Spain (1939–1975). The main objective is to analyse the social, moral and aesthetic elements that are present in the experience of these athletes. This study was carried out with an intentional sample of 24 women from Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Basque Country, Catalonia and Valencia. They were interviewed by a network of researchers from six universities. Outstanding results show the existence of social limitations to start sports practice (particularly in the post-war period); the importance of sport as a character-building aspect; sport’s remarkable influence on their body self-c…

Intrasexual competition at work: Sex differences in the jealousy-evoking effect of rival characteristics in work settings

2010

Sex differences in jealousy-evoking rival characteristics in the relationship with a supervisor at work were examined in a community sample of 188 individuals from Argentina. Among men, the rivals’ social dominance and communal attributes evoked the most jealousy, followed by physical dominance. Among women, the rival’s communal attributes evoked the most jealousy, followed by social dominance and physical attractiveness. For men physical dominance of the rival and for women physical attractiveness of the rival evoked relatively more jealousy, especially among those high in intrasexual competition and confronted with a same-sex supervisor. When confronted with an opposite-sex supervisor, s…

Gender presence on the editorial boards of journals in the Women's Studies subject category

2022

In the scientific journals, being part of the editorial boards, including the journals' members and chief editors, involves holding positions of power and responsibility that affect the running of a journal. Until now, these positions have usually been held by men in most scientific disciplines. In this study, the gender composition in the editorial board members (EBMs) and editor-in-chief (ECs) of the 45 Women's Studies journals classified in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) was analyzed. The following indicators were calculated: the gender distribution of ECs and EBMs by journal, publisher, country, and quartile of the journal in the JCR; the geographical area of the members; and the gen…
