Abstract

A philosopher, a sociologist, an ecocritic, and a writer discuss about the
volume Teresa e le altre. Storie di donne nella Terra dei Fuochi (Milan
2014). Employing diverse conceptual and methodological tools, the
participants to this virtual roundtable explore the autobiographical
stories written by the eight female authors and the intellectual project
embedded in this narrative experiment. Ecofeminism as practice, the
co-production of knowledge beyond the researcher/researched dialectic, the
link between the territory, individual biographies, and the embodied
experience of injustice are the main themes emerging from the discussion.
In the conclusions, the editor of the volume explains the genesis of this
project and connects it to what he has called "guerrilla narrative".
