italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies

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.
