Abstract:
Il contributo fornito da questa pubblicazione rappresenta una iniziativa innovativa nell’ambito della formazione per i progetti di miglioramento della qualità delle cure. Nei contesti sempre più si delinea la necessità di modelli teorici, di strumenti e metodologie che favoriscano la compartecipazione della persona e della sua famiglia alle cure. La sinergia tra Medicina narrativa, Metodologia Pedagogia dei Genitori e ICF permette di dare valore alle storie ed alle esperienze dei pazienti, alle competenze educative genitoriali all’interno del patto educativo scuola, sanità e famiglia con un focus sul grado di funzionamento della persona sia essa in condizione di salute o di malattia. In questa nuova prospettiva le azioni di cura mirano a stabilire un rapporto di fiducia che non è più basato su un’adesione acritica a saperi o interventi dati per acquisiti e indiscussi, ma su una concertazione che tiene conto delle competenze situate, concrete e quotidiane del cittadino e delle competenze formalizzate, generali e specifiche dei curanti.

Abstract:
Il volume Un incontro lusofono plurale di lingue, letterature, storie, culture vuole evidenziare una delle specificità della cultura lusofona: il pluralismo linguistico-letterario che dall'epoca delle scoperte marittime continua, ancora oggi, a contraddistinguere la cultura portoghese dal Brasile, all'Africa, all'Asia. I saggi riuniti segnano, a riguardo, un duplice percorso: interculturale poiché alternano l'aspetto letterario a quello linguistico dall'epoca umanistica a quella contemporanea, e intergeneris in quanto alternano non solo la storiografia e la trattatistica alla poesia e narrativa, con incursioni inter-artistiche tra letteratura, pittura e fotografia, ma anche aspetti linguistici propriamente grammaticali, a esempi di riscritture e questioni traduttologiche, in una sorta di ulteriore dialogo lusofono tra generi e tòpoi.

Dessì, Giuseppe, Corrado Tumiati, and Alberto Vigevani. Dessí e la Sardegna. Edited by Giulio Vannucci. Florence: Firenze University Press, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.36253/978-88-6655-401-1.

Full text
Abstract:
È una Sardegna fuori del tempo, alle soglie della storia, quella che emerge dalle pagine dei romanzi e dei racconti di Giuseppe Dessí. Ma è anche una Sardegna viva, ricca di contraddizioni che si inverano nel paesaggio e nelle vicende degli uomini. Il rapporto profondo che ha legato Dessí alla sua terra, nutrendone la narrativa, la saggistica, il lavoro intellettuale, si impone con forza nei carteggi raccolti in questo volume. Le lettere inedite, rintracciate in quattro diversi archivi italiani, trascritte e puntualmente annotate da Giulio Vannucci, raccontano la nascita e la composizione del numero speciale del «Ponte» di Calamandrei dedicato nel 1951 alla Sardegna e ricostruiscono la genesi della splendida antologia Scoperta della Sardegna, pubblicata nel 1965 dal Polifilo di Alberto Vigevani. In quei due libri straordinari lo scrittore, lasciando per una volta la voce narrativa ad altri, aveva costruito, non solo attraverso le parole di amici, ma di studiosi, storici, politici…, un diverso racconto corale dell’isola: mettendosi al servizio di Calamandrei, nel caso del «Ponte», per trovare collaboratori idonei a parlare della Sardegna del dopoguerra; impegnandosi a scegliere ricercatori capaci di tracciare una nuova e originale guida alla scoperta culturale dell’isola nel caso del Polifilo. Di tutto questo ci parlano adesso i carteggi, ma anche della cultura degli anni 60, dei dialoghi e delle tensioni intellettuali che accompagnarono Dessí nella compilazione di due opere che per acutezza antropologica e sociale ancora oggi ci parlano di una ‘dimora vitale’ che era la sua.

Caproni, Giorgio. Il Girasole. Edited by Giada Baragli. Florence: Firenze University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.36253/978-88-6453-495-4.

Full text
Abstract:
«Apriamo a caso il libro». È così che si eclissava tra il ’72 e il ’75 la voce-guida di Caproni per lasciare ad altri il microfono della trasmissione radiofonica «Il girasole». Una rubrica destinata alla divulgazione, trasmessa nelle ore di massimo ascolto del programma nazionale, con lo scopo di offrire ad un pubblico largo e diversificato una sorta di ‘sussidiario’ letterario che desse ai colti il piacere della rilettura e ai più giovani e sprovveduti quello della scoperta. Un grande poeta, Giorgio Caproni, aveva il compito di scegliere i passi da testi di ogni tempo e paese (poesia, narrativa, teatro…) e di collegarli tra loro con poche parole di presentazione in grado di ricreare un ambiente, un’epoca, insomma quanto sta intorno all’opera d’arte e la rende per tutti comprensibile e umana. È questa singolare avventura che – perduti/distrutti i materiali radiofonici – riusciamo infine a conoscere grazie all’attenta cura di Giada Baragli, che da copioni spesso lacunosi ha ricostruito il florilegio di un centinaio di brani che non solo offrono una preziosa antologia comparata della letteratura, ma ci parlano delle predilezioni e delle letture di uno straordinario, indimenticabile autore che ha anche collaborato con la radio.

Abstract:
Con l’avvicinarsi del centenario della nascita di Giuseppe Dessí, nel 2009, il Comitato delle Celebrazioni ha avviato una capillare attività di diffusione dell’opera dello scrittore in molti paesi europei. E visto che le traduzioni (obiettivo principe del progetto) prevedono una complessa conoscenza dell’autore, del suo stile, del dialogo e dello scarto con la cultura di riferimento, ci si è proposti di studiarle e favorirle ricostruendo non solo la storia e tipicità di un percorso narrativo, ma quella di una difficile ricezione all’estero nel quadro, sub specie Dessí, della presenza, fuori dei confini nazionali, della nostra letteratura del secondo Novecento. Tramite lo spoglio di libri, cataloghi editoriali, riviste, antologie, grazie all’impegno di studiosi e giovani collaboratori di università italiane e straniere, sono adesso la Francia, l’Inghilterra, la Spagna, la Germania, i Paesi Bassi, la Polonia, l’Ungheria, l’Ucraina, la Finlandia, la Svezia… a venire alla ribalta, con le loro predilezioni e preclusioni di lettura, insieme all’Italia, e ai temi, alle storie, ai personaggi dello scrittore a cui questo libro è dedicato.

Lothian, Alexis. Old Futures. NYU Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.18574/nyu/9781479811748.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
Old Futures traverses the history of imagined futures from the 1890s to the 2010s, interweaving speculative visions of gender, race, and sexuality from literature, film, and digital media. Centering works by women, queers, and people of color that are marginalized within most accounts of the genre, the book offers a new perspective on speculative fiction studies while reframing established theories of queer temporality by arguing that futures imagined in the past offer new ways to queer the present. Imagined futures have been central to the creation and maintenance of imperial domination and technological modernity; Old Futures rewrites the history of the future by gathering together works that counter such narratives even as they are part of them. Lothian explores how queer possibilities are constructed and deconstructed through extrapolative projections and affective engagements with alternative temporalities. The book is structured in three parts, each addressing one convergence of political economy, theoretical framework, and narrative form that has given rise to a formation of speculative futurity. Six main chapters focus on white feminist utopias and dystopias of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; on Afrofuturist narratives that turn the dehumanization of black lives into feminist and queer visions of transformation; on futuristic landscapes in queer speculative cinema; and on fan creators’ digital interventions into televised futures. Two shorter chapters, named “Wormholes” in homage to the science fiction trope of a time-space distortion that connects distant locations, highlight current resonances of the old futures under discussion.

Full text
Abstract:
Queering Family Trees explores the lived experience of family-making among queer mothers in the United States between 1991 and 2015. While the legalization of same-sex marriage and adoption has provided avenues toward equality for some couples, structural and economic barriers have meant that others—especially queer women of color who often have fewer financial resources—are not, in practice, able to avail themselves of supports necessary to create and sustain their families. This interdisciplinary ethnographic research draws on interviews with Indigenous, African American, Latina, Asian American, and white queer mothers living in a range of US states, considered in relation to news media, public law, and policy debates. I apply a reproductive justice analysis, critically exploring the ways intersections of race, gender, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation shape the experiences of families navigating social and legal contexts that define queer families as “illegitimate.” I explore these debates in relation to policy changes in adoption, welfare, and immigration, making evident how same-sex marriage furthers a neoliberal economic agenda. Little mainstream or scholarly attention has been given to the lives and families of lesbians of color. Indeed, the erasure of queers of color from these debates was crucial to maintaining a narrative equating marriage with equality. The family-making narratives of these mothers challenge the assimilation versus resistance framework that has shaped understandings of LGBTQ marriage debates. I argue that, contrary to public narratives celebrating equality through marriage, the federal legalization of same-sex marriage reinforces existing structures of inequality grounded in race, gender, sexuality, and class.

Full text
Abstract:
Black. Queer. Southern. Women.: An Oral History reveals how identity is made through race, gender, sexuality, class, and region. In particular, it centers the life stories of more than seventy Black, queer women from the U.S. South. With their lives and experiences as the focus, E. Patrick Johnson recasts a singular narrative of the South and illustrates the plurality of Black queer women’s identities. He also puts the complexity of Black female sexuality on display, drawing out multiple themes—childhood and adolescence; mother-daughter relationships; gender performances; religion and spirituality; sexual desires; dating and intimacy; and creative and political work. The interdisciplinary work blends oral history and performance ethnography methods to emphasize the rich tapestry of these women’s lives and give texture to their narratives. The book is divided into two parts. Part one, “G.R.I.T.S.: Stories of Growing Up Black, Female, and Queer,” is comprised of seven chapters and organized thematically, pulling out portions of women’s narratives that speak to each subject. Part two, “My Soul Looks Back and Wonders: Stories of Perseverance and Hope,” is comprised of six chapters, each of which delves into an individual woman’s narrative. Taken together, the sections reflect Johnson’s careful attention to the tension between history and biography; the structural and the interpersonal; the collective and the individual.

Full text
Abstract:
The notion of “Mother Russia” has long played a central role in the articulation of Russian statehood. Drawing on Peterson’s “lens of protection,” this chapter interrogates how “Russia as Motherland” has been utilized to help construct a neopaternalist gender regime and state identity via a narrative of existential threat to Mother Russia from an “Unholy Queer Peril.” This narrative highlights the state’s dogmatic adherence to “traditional” understandings of gender and sexuality, and the chapter explores the impact of the perception of a “queer peril” for practices of statecraft, showing how the hypermasculine state’s “fear of queer” becomes both defining and self-defeating as the state’s logic of protection focuses increasingly on ensuring the “correct” performance of gender by state and citizens alike.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the alternate reality of the 2006 novel Half Life, wherein the United States has implemented a program of self-bombing to atone for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This bombing gives rise to a politicized minority of conjoined twins—modeled satirically on, and overlapping with, queer communities—who then serve as emblems of peaceful, post-nuclear coexistence. In examining Half Life's revision of Atomic Age history, this chapter focuses on the queer ecological implications of its narrative form. This chapter studies the novel's so-called “ironic environmentalism”; in so doing, it builds on previous work in environmentalist rhetoric and establishes irony as a new topic of inquiry for queer ecology.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Vaslav Nijinsky’s Afternoon of a Faun (1912) to consider how modernist performance could queer sex without representing same-sex relations and in the process become a focal point for sexually dissident spectatorship. In the ballet, the Faun bypasses a group of nymphs in favor of a solitary sexual experience. In doing so, he thwarts narrative expectations, foregrounding an autonomous male sexuality that was thrown into relief by the two-dimensionality of Nijinsky’s choreography. This relationship between modernist form and queer content produced a representation of male sexuality that was neither conventionally masculine nor effeminate. Afternoon of a Faun’s significance as a key work of queer modernism is underscored by its role in the historical emergence of an identifiably gay and lesbian audience, as well as by the mythologization of Nijinsky as the Faun as both an enabling and cautionary figure of queer sexuality.

Mayer, Peta. Misreading Anita Brookner. Liverpool University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.3828/liverpool/9781789620597.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
Anita Brookner was a best-selling women’s writer, Booker Prize winner and an historian of French Romantic art. However she is best known for writing boring, outdated books about lonely, single women. This book offers a queer rereading of Brookner by demonstrating the performative Romanticism of her novels to narrate multiple historical forms of homoerotic desire. It draws on diverse nineteenth-century intertexts from Charles Baudelaire to Henry James, Renée Vivien to Freud to establish a cross-historical and temporal methodology that emphasises figures of anachronism, the lesbian, the backwards turn and the woman writer. Delineating sets of narrative behaviours, tropes and rhetorical devices between Brookner’s Romantic predecessors and her own novels, the book produces a cast of Romantic personae comprising the military man, analysand, queer, aesthete, dandy, flâneur, degenerate and storyteller as hermeneutic figures for rereading Brookner. It then stages the performance of these personae along the specified narrative forms and back through six Brookner novels to reveal queer stories about their characters and plotlines. This new interpretation offers ways to think about Brookner’s contemporary female heroines as hybrid variations of (generally male) nineteenth-century artist archetypes. As a result it simultaneously critiques the heterosexual and temporal misreading that has characterised Brookner’s early reception.

Abstract:
Drawing upon progressive pedagogical theorists and her own experiences, the author examines the potential effects and ethical responsibility of the health humanities workshop/classroom. Is it possible to search for oppositional knowledge—as described by Talpade Mohanty—within the health humanities disciplines; what does it mean to crip, queer, or un-home these many fields? In what ways might narrative work pose risks to students when it is practiced without attention to the operation of power and privilege? The author describes the evolution of her own pedagogical approach and proposes three pedagogical pillars to guide socially just narrative practices: narrative humility, structural competency, and engaged pedagogy. By embracing the state of being “un-homed”, the health humanities may strive to become a multiply layered space and time that both affirms difference and provides an alternative to authoritarian power and oppression.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter offers a critical paradigm for reading Ruth through the lens of “narrative desire.” An interdisciplinary method bringing together insights from narratology, psychoanalytic theory, philosophical studies, and queer theory, narrative desire provides a versatile approach to indeterminate texts, highlighting the erotic interplay between a narrative’s form and content and the reader’s response. By playing on readers’ desires for a fulfilling and resolute climax, Ruth often seduces readers into what Peter Brooks terms “the male plot of ambition.” From this perspective, women and other minority characters are rendered utilitarian disruptions in an otherwise male, Israelite story. An alternative strategy of “reading for the middle” encourages readers to reconsider the temporal and spatial dynamics of the narrative in order to resist restrictive forms of emplotment. As one lingers in the “dilatory” spaces of the middle, hidden desires are exposed and emancipatory possibilities are revealed.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter considers Djuna Barnes’s 1923 metatheatrical parodies To the Dogs and The Dove to suggest that the audience for queer modernist performance was not limited to past spectators but has also encompassed later critics and theorists, and that the work’s impact has extended beyond its original context into the present moment, shaping critical discourse in modernist studies. Barnes’s plays have been regarded by some as dramatic failures, but in fact they deliberately thwart conventional representational tropes and dynamics to stage critiques of gendered and sexualized narrative structures and scopic economies. Reprinted in key anthologies of modernist literature, the plays have become research and teaching resources that have contributed to the development of feminist and queer modernist studies. As such, they have “performed” even though they remain mostly unperformed, exemplifying the performativity of queer modernist theatre not only in its original historical context but also across time.

Full text
Abstract:
Narrative approaches initiated a sea-change in Judges studies. Narrative approaches, however, require additional tools if they are to challenge the text’s ideology. While several narrative critics combined their expertise with feminist theory, scholars are yet to engage fully with the critical study of masculinities or with queer studies that offer a new, rich vein of research focused on how gender and sexuality is an integral aspect of character. YHWH has largely evaded the kind of attention given to other, more earthly, characters. This chapter discusses YHWH’s alpha-male qualities and how they create gender trouble for the cast of male characters in Judges; how YHWH is caught up with the cultural dictates of honor and shame; how object-relations theory can be fruitful in understanding the relationship dynamics between YHWH and Israel. Attention finally returns to the narrator and his stake in this representation of the deity.

Abstract:
This chapter studies several of Dulac's early narrative Impressionist films, and her ideal of cinema as a spatiotemporally complex universe of symbols—one in which meaning is created through an intertextual network of figurative associations, such as pictorial and rhythmic gesture. Dulac's integral approach, based on life, movement, and rhythm, exemplified in a surviving extract of what is considered the first Impressionist film, La Fête espagnole (1920), is used in a particularly innovative and feminist manner in one of her earliest extant films, La Belle Dame sans merci (1921). Dulac's use of dance as a discursive metaphor disrupts a heteronormative, monogamous, and linear narrative structure, creating a queer subtext in her later films, both commercial and avant-garde.

The pericope adulterae (John 7:53–8:11) is often interpreted as an inherently feminist story, one that validates women’s humanity in the face of a patriarchal order determined to reduce sexual sinners and women more generally to the status of object. Reading this story within a framework of queer narratology, however, leads to a different point of view, one that challenges the consequences of seeking rescue from a god and a text that are both quite willing to forge male homosocial bonds at a woman’s expense. As the history of this story also shows, texts and their meanings remain unsettled and therefore open to further unpredictable and contingent elaboration. Pondering my own feminist commitments, I attempt to imagine a world and a story where a woman is a person and Jesus is in need of rescue. Perhaps such a world is possible. Or perhaps it is not.
