No. 6 (2010): Emerging subjects / Ed. by Laura Guidi

Emerging  subjects deals with various experiences, both of the past and the present time, in which groups or individuals pass from a subaltern and passive condition to an affirmative behavior, to autonomous initiatives and  expressions of their own experiences, aspirations and desires. There is a gender dimension in all these texts, either they deal with women's movements and organizations (as in Botti, Amistà, Cimbalo, Pelizzari), or they deal with women as  protagonists in specific community struggles (Sgueglia and Zito). We can also  recognize experiences of  "emerging as subjects" in the report edited by the association LBS of a seminar dealing with the topic of gender roles in upbringing and education. Lamagna analyzes the story of Marie Cardinal, in which writing enables her to take control over her own life, giving her intimate freedom. A therapeutic role is played when Russian veterans of the Afghan war (1979-89) narrate the story of their experiences. Vanke's essay shows how telling their story enables them to recover memories that had  previously  been removed from their minds to be inscribed only in their bodies. The volume is completed by the Catarzi's review of a book by Claudia Montepaone on Pythagorean  women philosophers,  the re-reading by Lamarra  of a book recalling the experience of some protagonists of the feminist culture in the Seventies, and the Highlighter, that in this issue deals with the young contingent workers in the fields of knowledge  and research.
