The Nineteenth-Century Female Character
Organizer and Chair: Gabriella Romani (Seton Hall
University)
Is it possible to identify a discourse on the female
character that is specific to Italy’s process of nation-making? This
panel welcomes proposals which analyze the Italian female character of the Ottocento,
understood as a fictional character developed by both male and female authors,
but also as an ideological construction within the wider discourse of
nation-making, and as an expression of multiple forms of female subjectivities.
