Queen Teuta of Illyria was not only a famous Warrior Queen that lived almost two hundred years before Cleopatra, but her love for King Agron was one of the most legendary love stories in history. BESA PO is inspired by the true story of love, loss, betrayal, victory and defeat. BESA is a code of honor, a promise to protect someone or a Kingdom even with their life. PO is the word YES in Illyrian. Queen Teuta gave her BESA PO to King Agron and the people of Illyria. During the years of 231 BC to 227 BC, in order to fulfill her promise after the Kings tragic death, she challenged the mighty Roman Army and Navy. The Romans learned of her fierceness and skill in battle suffering humiliating defeats. They feared her, turned her own flesh and blood against her, captured her Kingdom but never captured her. Venture back into ancient times and discover Queen Teuta's story, a love so deep it spans the ages, leadership so compelling that Rome was put to shame. One of the first women to rise to power in the Kingdom of men.
I contributi di questo volume analizzano il tema della resilienza al femminile in testi che appartengono a diversi periodi e contesti storici e a generi differenti. Ciò che li accomuna è la centralità nella propria analisi della definizione di resilienza in psicologia, quale capacità di fronteggiare e riorganizzare positivamente la propria vita a seguito di un evento traumatico. L’immagine – suggerita da Zolli e Healy – del mare in tempesta e degli esseri umani che, sulle imbarcazioni, non riescono ad arginare l’impeto dell’acqua, rende visivamente la dinamica problematicità del Mediterraneo, specie se declinata al femminile, così come analizzata nei saggi presenti in questo volume. Gli articoli non solo prendono in esame tale criticità, ma esplorano la tensione tra quelle situazioni di avversità e la capacità dei personaggi femminili di saper re-immaginare il futuro, trasformando “i rottami” di quella stesse “barche in tempesta” in opportunità.
