« Autonomy in the Dock: Oscar Wilde’s first trial »
2014
Les procès d’Oscar Wilde de 1895 ont donné lieu à de multiples interprétations qui soulignent en particulier comment ils ont permis la cristallisation d’une identité gaie. Ils méritent également d’être mis en relation avec le texte de Wilde « The Soul of Man under Socialism » (1891) qui propose une subjectivité fondée sur l’individualisme et l’autonomie personnelle. Ce projet qui a fort inquiété les juges et l’Establishment anglais n’est pas sans rapport avec les thèses de Cornélius Castoriadis sur l’autonomie dans la Grèce antique, référence que les deux auteurs partagent. The 1895 Wilde trials are usually seen as either the trial of non-normative sexualities or as enabling a definition of…

2022
Homoparenting is now a widespread reality that requires continuous investigations and in-depth studies. It is also an area of psychosocial interest in Italy, where, howev er, the analysis of homosexual parental and coparenting constructs tends to be very difficult. This, although gay families with children make an essential contribution to the pluralization of family-related meanings
Sexual Compulsivity and Sexual Sensation Seeking: A Preliminary Approach Among Male Sex Workers Compared to Gay Men in Spain
2015
This study aims to explore sexual compulsivity (SC) and sexual sensation seeking (SSS) in male sex workers (MSWs) compared to a group of non-MSW gay men. A total of 60 MSWs and 63 gay men answered the SC Scale and the SSS Scale. The total scales' mean score was slightly higher in the MSW population. Still, statistical differences were observed in only two SSS items. In spite of the absence of statistical significance, MSWs presented more sexual behavior interferences on their lives and higher failure to control sexual impulses. Future interventions among MSWs should focus on sexual self-control and impulsivity.
MASCHILITÀ OMOSESSUALI TRA SESSO E AMICIZIA. COME LE ‘DATING APPS’ RISCRIVONO I COPIONI SESSUALI NEL XXI SECOLO
2021
This paper analysis sexual scripts theory in relation to gay men courtship, love relationships, and casual sex. The aim is to understand how gay masculinity is evolving in the 21st Century. Previous research has reinforced the concept that gay men follow heterosexual masculinity and scripts in their relationships with other men. Here, analysing data from the most used gay dating app ‘Grindr’, we try to understand the balance among the different needs gay men in Italy express in their daily lives: from friendship to love, from casual sex to long-term relationships. Indeed, applying the heterosexual cultural script to gay men is problematic because hegemonic masculinity is also reinforced in …
La criminalización de la transmisión de VIH en los medios: periodismo de sucesos entre el sensacionalismo y la homofobia = Criminalization of HIV tra…
2019
Resumen: Introduccion : La informacion periodistica actual aborda mayoritariamente el VIH como una epidemia de caracter global y ha abandonado el discurso de los grupos de riesgo que vinculo al virus con la comunidad gay. En los ultimos anos, el VIH ha sido objeto de atencion mediatica por la judicializacion de la transmision deliberada del virus. Objetivos : Este trabajo analiza la cobertura periodistica en torno a dos hombres europeos juzgados en 2017: el escoces Daryll Rowe, condenado a cadena perpetua por tratar de infectar con VIH a 10 hombres, y el italiano Valentino Talluto, sentenciado por transmitir el virus a 32 mujeres. El estudio busca identificar las caracteristicas dominantes …
Spanish Validation of the Polymorphous Prejudice Scale in a Sample of University Students
2016
ABSTRACTThe shortened version of the Polymorphous Prejudice Scale (PPS) analyzes new manifestations of prejudice toward gay men and lesbian women. Specifically, this instrument consists of 16 items distributed in four subscales: values gay progress, positive beliefs about gay men, positive beliefs about lesbian women, and resistance to heteronormative expectations. The aim of the current study is to add new evidence about the reliability and validity of the scale. The scale is administrated to 348 heterosexual university students from Spain with a mean age of 22.62 years (SD = 7.63). Reliability and factorial validity estimates are presented. A four-factor structure is supported using confi…
Volontà violate. Intervista a un maestro di strada
2003
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak scriveva alla fine degli anni ‘80 un saggio, divenuto celebre, in cui proponeva il seguente quesito: can the subaltern speak? (possono parlare i subalterni?). Ad esso sono seguite numerose risposte, non solo di accademici delle più svariate parti del mondo, ma anche da operatori del sociale che hanno inteso questa domanda come un concentrato di interrogativi da cui si sentivano quotidianamente toccati. Per comprendere le implicazioni e la portata di tale problema va innanzitutto spiegato chi sono i subalterni. ‘Subalterno’ è chi è inchiodato al suo status sociale. E questa immobilità è dovuta al fatto che il subalterno abita un sistema di dominio che non gli conse…
