Includes bibliographical references and index,
Discussing women's social role through paradoxical behaviours: starvation and self-empowerment in Neera's Teresa (1886) and L'indomani (1889) / Gendering the air: an alternative perspective on futurist aeropainting / "Appartenevo ad un uomo, dunque?" reading rape and sexual violence in early 20th-century Italian women's narrative / Sandro Penna, queer intellettuale impegnato / "Senza cacciarsi dentro un destino da etichetta": the body politics of Dacia Maraini / Re-mapping Impegno in postcolonial Italy: gender, race, class, and the question of commitment / Francesca Calamita -- Jennifer Griffiths -- Alex Standen -- John Champagne -- Maria Morelli -- Barbara De Vivo.
Notions of engagement, commitment and impegno continue to provoke debate amongst academics researching contemporary Italian culture, and yet - be it by accident or by more conscious selection - critical work has tended to posit these concepts as a predominantly male and, often, heteronormative domain. This collection of essays challenges this assumption, and analyses more closely the fluid and fragmented nature of commitment, and the work of Italian intellectuals and cultural practitioners associated with it. The volume's contributors engage with those who have typically been excluded from such.
