    LGBTQIA+ sexualities: subjectivities, movements, languages

    LGBTQIA+ studies for contemporary history, having produced a vast amount of researches, are still questioning history and historiography: how can LGBTQIA+ history be written? Does it merely overlap with the history of LGBTQIA+ subjectivities or does it exceed the boundaries of the LGBTQIA+ community? Does it challenge the historical imagination in terms of sources, archives, political and disciplinary boundaries, gender categories? Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea is looking for contributions aimed at investigating these issues.

    “Marine Feet and Vesuvian Eyes”: The Volcanic Aesthetics of Maria Orsini Natale

    Edited Collection

    This volume intends to fill a gap in the critical reception of a remarkable Southern Italian woman writer. A journalist, a poet and a writer, Maria Orsini Natale (1928-2010) lived and worked at the foot of Vesuvius, and began writing at age 69, receiving several literary recognitions. Her novel, initially written as Ottocento Vesuviano, then entitled Francesca and Nunziata, and published for the first time in 1995, was also made into a 2001 film directed by Lina Wertmüller, starring Sophia Loren and Giancarlo Giannini. The book earned her a semifinalist’s place in the Strega Prize, the most prestigious Italian literary award, and features a family from Amalfi, dedicated for generations to the white art of pasta making. More than fiction, it illustrates what in Neapolitan is called a ‘cunto’, part historical account and part allegorical tale, derived from a reservoir of collective as well as personal memories.

    Male Bonds in Nineteenth-Century Art

    The conference will probe, challenge and expand upon the academic narrative of male homosociality through the lens of art history. It aims to establish an overview of a variety of male bonds that underpinned nineteenth-century art, and to consider the theoretical and methodological implications of the study thereof. In so doing, it seeks to build a bridge between traditional art-historical scholarship and the fields of gender and gay and lesbian studies: an interdisciplinary exchange of which the full potential for scholarship on the nineteenth century remains to be exploited.

    Liberty and freedom for everyone?

    Women and the struggle for social progress, 1700-1918

    Bien que les efforts pour l’amélioration du statut des femmes puissent être observés au cours de toute l’histoire, nous voudrions focaliser notre discussion sur les « longues XVIIIe et XIXe siècles », car c’étaient les transformations politiques, économiques, aussi bien que les changements dans les mentalités de ce temps-là qui aboutirent au tournant du XXe siècle.

    Women in a rural context - breaking the silence in historiography

    Femmes en milieu rural: briser le "silence historiographique"

    En France, les travaux de Rose-Marie Lagrave sur les agricultrices et les récentes thèses de Frédérique El Amrani et de Jérôme Pelletier montrent l'intérêt et la nécessité d'étendre les recherches sur la place et le rôle des femmes et du genre dans le milieu rural, qui n'est pas seulement agricole. C'est dans cette perspective que le LER cherche à réinterroger le rural à l'aune de la question du genre comme processus d’assignations sociales d’identités, mais aussi à soulever la question de la spécificité du rural, toujours d'actualité.

    Masculin / féminin dans la presse du XIXe siècle

    Dans l'optique d'un colloque international qui se tiendra en 2009-2010 sur la question du rapport entre masculin/ féminin et presse au XIXe siècle, un séminaire interdisciplinaire organisé par Christine Planté et Marie-Eve Thérenty se tient à Lyon en 2007-2008 autour de quelques questions problématiques : comment s'organisent les rédactions, les professions et les sociabilités journalistiques entre hommes et femmes au XIXe siècle (13 décembre) ? Comment se programme, s'organise voire éventuellement surgit une lecture genrée de la presse (19 mars 2008) ? Quelle est la spécificité d'une écriture critique au féminin (30 avril 2008) ?
