Dare forma al silenzio
Il silenzio delle donne, malgrado i secolari stereotipi sul loro troppo parlare, è antico, profondo, tenace, per certi versi più ancora in età contemporanea che in età moderna, con una sola, grande eccezione: la letteratura. Esso è stato particolarmente pesante nella sfera politica, che fu a lungo, insieme al diritto, il luogo della massima esclusione femminile. Nella prima e più ampia parte di questo libro vengono ricostruiti alcuni momenti in cui le donne lottarono per l’accesso alla politica e per la sua ridefinizione, ponendo al centro il nesso tra lotta per l’uguaglianza e rivendicazione della differenza e trovando così parole nuove per dare appunto forma al silenzio.

After the War
Why were many Italian Fascist crimes left unpunished after the Second World War? Why were many Italian partisans imprisoned during that period? How easy was it for Italian Jews that had survived the holocaust to return to normal life in a country that had previously ostracised them? How do we account for widespread and prolonged violence after the Liberation of Italy? How were Italian communities and families transformed by the experiences of Fascism, war and the return to democracy? This volume addresses all of these questions, and many others. Written mostly by Italian scholars, the book provides the English reader with an opportunity to witness a high standard of contemporary research into one of the most dramatic periods of Italian history.
Women’s History at the Cutting Edge
What have the achievements of Women’s and Gender History, as a field of study, been in Italy? To what extent has it succeeded in making women’s history an integral part of academic enquiry rather than an optional specialist area? What impact has the study of manhood and masculinities had on our understanding of women’s lives? What is the relationship between gender studies and new critical histories of colonialism and empire, contact zones, cross-cultural encounters and racialisation? How is new work on cultural geography and spatial categories impacting our historical understandings of bodily differences? The articles collected here are inspired by these questions, previously posed by Karen Offen and Chen Yan to an international group of historians. They discuss several critical themes, including: the challenges the field has experienced in the Italian institutional context and which it continues to face today; how we can move the conversation beyond Italy and Europe to other international arenas; and how to expand the research on topics like the history of masculinities, gay and lesbian studies, colonial studies, and global history.

"Who Am I?" Historical Narrative and Subjectivity in Anna Banti's Camicia bruciata
This book investigates Anna Banti’s contribution to the creation of a female literary canon, as well as the renewal of Italian literature, from stylistic and thematic points of view. The book examines Banti’s contribution from a two-pronged perspective: as a promoter of female individuality and independence, in contrast to the existent paternal order; and as an innovator of the Italian novel, in particular, the Italian historical novel. This study mainly concentrates on the historical novel, La camicia bruciata, published in 1973. The analysis of the Camicia bruciata examines the structure of the historical novel – Anna Banti’s representations of her male and female characters and their capacity for relationships – and the difference between the fictional story created by Anna Banti, and the historical facts narrated in The House of Medici by Sir Christopher Hibbert and The Last Medici by Harold Acton. The purpose of this analysis is to show how Banti’s personal experience, mainly her idea of married life and motherhood, influenced her narrative and her characters.

A che punto è la storia delle donne in Italia
La ricca produzione di storia delle donne e di genere nel nostro paese rende ormai non solo utile ma anche necessario un esame critico dei suoi principali percorsi e nodi problematici. I saggi qui raccolti – nati dal seminario Annarita Buttafuoco tenutosi a Milano nel 2002 – analizzano, oltre ai rapporti tra la storia delle donne e il femminismo, i risultati e i metodi di ricerca, i rapporti con le tradizioni storiografiche, l’elaborazione di nuove categorie interpretative. I primi tre saggi esaminano gli studi seguendo le grandi partizioni cronologiche; gli altri analizzano alcuni dei temi storiografici sui quali le ricerche italiane si sono maggiormente sviluppate.
Voices from Gender Studies
The book is aimed at providing an assertion of Gender Studies as a vital community in our time, united in a commitment to inquiry. It brings forward an interdisciplinary set of early career researchers’ accounts of their motives for engaging in Gender Studies and, of the encounters with limitations as well as possibilities they experience on the paths they have chosen. Each chapter is accompanied by a brief response paper where a more senior researcher involves in conversation with respective chapter’s content and shares reflections regarding Gender Studies, its integration, and developments. The first level corresponds with the significance of research in the field and its transformative power in and, crucially, outside the academia. The second relates to the value of networking and community building for doing research. The book presents Gender Studies in a communicative, open manner that invites the reader to engage in and continue the displayed discussions. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of gender studies, sociology, queer studies, women’s studies, trans studies, anthropology, and literary studies.
