italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
International Interdisciplinary Conference
Women in Italy 1946-60
University of Glasgow
20-21 September 2002
In association with
Italian Cultural Institute, Edinburgh
Sponsored by
British Academy
Association for the Study of Modern Italy
Society for Italian Studies
Studies of the history and cultural activities of women in 20th Century
Italy have tended to concentrate either on the years of War and Fascism,
or else on the feminism of the late 1960s and 1970s. The intervening
period has come under much less scrutiny. It is the aim of this
conference to bring together specialists from a variety of disciplines
to develop a deeper understanding of the social and cultural history of
women in those years of upheaval and readjustment.
Papers will be in either Italian or English and will include discussion
of the following themes:
Public and private: the domestic sphere and the family; public advice
for private worlds; women and work; women and the Catholic Church; women
and the law; women in politics; women in sport; public life and
prominent women.
Representations of women: in literature, film, advertising, television;
ideals and realities
Artistic expression: female writers, artists, performers and their work
Scandals and controversies: crossing boundaries and breaking rules;
debate on prostitution
