About the Conference
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.
