ITAL B235 - The Italian Women's Movement

Institution:

Haverford College

Subject:

Description:

R.Ricci This course aims to dispel the amazement of those who wonder how feminism could have taken root in a country where, for centuries, women have been wearing black shawls and their public life has been limited to an appearance at mass. Emphasis will be put on Italian women writers and film directors, who are often left out of syllabi adhering to traditional canons. Topics to be explored are: the construction of gender, the relationship of writing to identity and subjectivity, the maternal discourse, and the continuity among women (mothers, daughters, and grandmothers).
