Cara Susanna,
scusami se ti strarompo, ma rileggendo il CfP, ho pensato che invece di proporre il mio paper su Limentani, potrei fare un riassunto delle conclusioni del mio nuovo libro in cui parlo appunto di quando teorie femministe e studi di genere abbiano contribuito alla mia lettura ed analisi di romanzi dell'ultima decade del 20mo secolo.
Adesso faccio un cutandpaste e ti mando le pagine suddette affinche' ti faccia un'idea di cosa voglio dire.
Le mie considerazioni sono tutt'altro che conclusive ma almento tento di presentare una strada critica che utilizzi strategie diverse da quelle dei nostri soliti babbioni e che non segua il separatismo (forzato direi) degli studi di genere.
Insomma, utopia galore...
CIAO

In the 1980s and the early 1990s, the field of gender studies was
commonly understood and treated as being unproblematically synonymous
with women's studies. However, increasingly, the category of 'gender
studies' has broadened significantly, both informed by and informing
developments in queer and sexuality studies.
This conference will explore how new definitions of and critical
approaches to gender and sexuality have impacted on current debates in
Italian studies as an international field. In particular, we are
interested in how the study of gender and sexuality has changed the map
of Italian studies and critically enriched the discipline particularly
outside of Italy.
Moreover, since the early 1990s a new emphasis on cultural studies has
facilitated growing intersections and dialogues between theoretical
discourses informing traditional fields of enquiry as well as less
traditional fields such as cinema studies, diaspora studies and gay and
lesbian studies. The conference will explore ways in which the
combination of a cultural studies approach with gender and sexuality
studies is changing the landscape of the discipline of Italian Studies
in Italy and beyond.
We invite proposals for papers (in English or Italian) dealing with ALL
aspects of gender and sexuality in the broad field of Italian Studies,
across centuries and disciplinary boundaries
POSSIBLE TOPICS MIGHT INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT CONFINED TO):
* REPRESENTATIONS OF GENDER AND SEXUALITY IN LITERATURE AND FILM
* SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ENGAGEMENTS WITH DEFINITIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS
OF GENDER AND SEXUALITY IN ITALIAN AND ITALOPHONE CONTEXTS
* THE INFLUENCE OF ANGLOPHONE DISCOURSES ON GENDER AND SEXUALITY
STUDIES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITALIAN STUDIES WITHIN AND BEYOND ITALY
* THE SPECIFICITY OF CRITICAL AND THEORETICAL DISCOURSES ON GENDER
AND SEXUALITY WITHIN ITALY
* IMPACT AND REPRESENTATION OF GENDER AND SEXUALITY STUDIES IN THE
FIELD OF ITALIAN MIGRATION
Please note that a selection of papers presented at the conference will
be published in an edited volume and in a special issue of an
appropriate journal of Italian Studies (details to follow at a later stage)
Interested parties are invited to submit:
· a proposed paper title and abstract of 200 words in length along with
a short bio
· proposals for panels including bios
Proposals (as a Word document email attachment) and inquiries should be
