Catherine Ramsey-Portolano, Showcasing Neurosis in Italian Cinema of the Economic Boom: A Gendered Perspective
This presentation will explore the portrayal of neurosis in Italian cinema during the years of Italy’s economic boom. Approaching neurosis as a cultural rather than medical concept, I analyze its role in Michelangelo Antonioni’s Il deserto rosso [The Red Desert 1964] and Elio Petri’s Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto [Investigation of a citizen above suspicion 1969] and La classe operaia va in paradiso [The working class goes to heaven 1971]. The emotional and psychological turmoil of characters sufferingfrom neurosis reflects their reaction to changes affecting Italian society of the time. As members of a community organized by unhealthy living conditions, objectives and values, neurotic characters embody the malaise of a sick society, but they also become spokespeople for others subject to the same conditions. I consider the differing factors that influence a gendered portrayal of neurosis in Italian cinema of those years, adopting a comparative analysis offemale and male neurosis to demonstrate that it served to work against predominant gender models for Italian womenand men of the time and proposed reevaluations of traditional forms of femininity and masculinity. Narrating the neurotic functions in these films to transform narratives of normalcy, portraying neurosis as a source of agency and knowledge rather than individual or social liability.Catherine Ramsey-Portolano is Associate Professor and Director of the Italian Studies and Modern LanguagesProgram at The American University of Rome, where she teaches courses on Italian literature, culture, film and language. She holds degrees from University of Chicago (PhD in Italian Literature); University of Wisconsin, Madison (MA in Italian Literature); L’Università LUMSA (Laurea in Lettere, 110/110 con lode) and University of Tennessee, Knoxville (BA in Italian Literature).

Andrea Bini, Men on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown: Comedy Italian-style and the psychopathology of the Italian male
The Italian mononuclear family became definitively established only around the 1960s- 1970s. This achievement was due to the economic boom and the dominance of this family model in the television programs, including commercials and tv series . On the other hand, it was the cinema, and especially the so-called Commedia all’italiana, that depictedthe crisis of the Italian male in the postwar period, his difficulty in experiencing the decline of the patriarchal and fascist values within which he had grown up. In my presentation I will focus mainly on the popular actor-comedian Alberto Sordi, the actor who between the 1950s and the 1970s best represented this male crisis, which is also a pathological inability to relate to the female gender and to be a parent in a post-oedipal society.Andrea Bini was born in Rome, where he studied Italian literature and Philosophy at the University “La Sapienza”. Heearned an MA in Film and Media Studies at UT Austin and a Ph.D in Italian Studies at UCLA. He has published three books: Kant e Carabellese (Luiss University Press, 2006), Male Anxiety and Psychopathology in Film. Comedy Italian Style (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015), and his recent monography on Spielberg movie Jaws-Lo Squalo (Rubbettino, 2024) He has also published several articles on Italian cinema, literature, and culture, including two chapters in the book PopularItalian Cinema: Culture and Politics in a Postwar Society, edited by Flavia Brizio-Skov (Tauris, 2011). He is adjunct professor at The American University of Rome and Temple University-Rome.
Lucia Tralli, “Yes, I truly dress like this.” Fashion, Body Positivity, and Authenticity in Micro-Celebrities’ Affective Practices online
This paper explores two case studies of Italian micro-celebrities who engage with body positivity through their presenceon Instagram. Specifically, it explores the accounts of influencer and content creator Muriel (@murielxo) and web personality Denise d’Angelilli (@dueditanelcuore) asexamples of young female micro-celebrities addressing issues such as beauty standards, harmful stereotypes against non-conforming bodies, and female empowerment. Both figures leverage personal stories and visual representation to confront societal norms and share intimate reflections on their experiences.I place their engagement with body positivity within the broader framework of affective labor and the digital performance of authenticity. Although body positivity has been adopted by various groups, it often contends with conflicting narratives: on one side, challenging fat stigma and exposing the various forms of discrimination encountered by non-conforming bodies; on the other, intertwining with ideas of empowerment, social liberation, commercial exploitation, and the neoliberal co-optation of inclusivity. Additionally, this contribution explores how both creators employ fashion—through their style choices and fashion-related practices—as a tool of self-expression, further shaping their narratives of authenticity and body positivity.

Ana Signoretti Franco, The Velina Figure in Italy: The over sexualization of women in the media
For my presentation, I intend to analyze the characteristics of the Velina Culture in Italian films from the etymology of the word to the history of the Velina in Italian culture concluding with the contemporary representation of the figure. The presentation will be divided in 3 main points:Origen
Evolution
ConsequencesFurthermore, I wish to show examples from the well-known media that portrait the figures and support my argument as well as a post-feminism perspective on the issue. Additionally, I will be giving my own perspectives on how this reflects Italian culture and stereotypes and affects women in Italy and globally by perpetrating the Velina figure.

Lee Lanzillotta, Per urbem enim irrideor: Misogyny, Power, and the Epistolary Commerce Between Isotta Nogarola and Guarino Veronese
Isotta Nogarola (1418-1466) is perhaps best known for her proto-feminist dialogue in defense of the biblical Eve. However, like all humanists, she was also a prolific writer of letters. Her work has gained increased attention since the 1970s due to her place in history as one of the few women to assert herself as a scholar and thinker in the mostly-male world of Italian Renaissance Humanism. Yet her intellect was not enough to gain her a place at the table, so to speak. She had to fight to be heard. Her epistolary exchange with Guarino Veronese is particularly indicative of the tenuous position of a woman who dared assert herself in such a male-dominated sphere, as well as the social risks of being rejected. In this period, writing letters to learnedmen was one way to embark on a humanist career. Many epistles were written not only as means of communicationbetween colleagues, but also with the eventual goal of publication. Writing to Veronese was a bold act and his initiallack of response put Nogarola in a socially humiliating position. Her anger and disapointment at being ignored, clearly expressed in her subsequent letter, to which Veronese finally responded, is understandable. I propose that Nogarola’s strong reaction to Veronese’ssilence demonstrates just how fragile the position of the learned Renaissance woman was - and what was at risk if she failed to gain the approval of male humanists.Lee Lanzillotta (he/him) is a student of Archaeology and Classics, with a minor in Latin. His research has been published in the Journal of Classics Teaching and he will present this summer at the 2025 Classical Association Conference at the University of St. Andrews.
Alua Kargabayeva, Gender Apartheid: The Systematic Oppression of Women under Taliban Rule
This presentation is aimed to address the daily struggles of Afghani women, who have been systematically oppressed by the Taliban rule using the international law and human rights perspective. What happens today to women in Afghanistan is called gender apartheid, which means social, sexual, and economic discrimination based on one’s gender. Gender apartheid, as racial apartheid, must be recognized and addressed as a violation of human rights, however, gender apartheid receives less attention and often has been dismissed. The case of Afghani women demonstrates the worst crisis in women’s rights and has global implications on gender inequality anywhere else. The issue is covered with stereotypes and cultural relativist justification which must be criticized. International politics’ mainstream leaders and diplomats often ignore the cruel discrimination and violence against Afghani women and tend tonormalize the Taliban government by engaging in diplomatic relationships and meeting the leaders. All these issues must be addressed to raise awareness and break the silence on one of the worst humanity crises in the world.Alua Kargabayeva is a second-year student at AUR, majoring in International Relations & Global Politics with a minor in Economics and Peace & Conflict. She’s passionate about international politics, human rights, and humanitarian law, always looking to deepen her understanding of global issues.

Vassilissa Carangio, An Anticolonial and Gendered Analysis of Managerial Practices in “So-called Australia”
Management studies that intersect with migration in so-called Australia (and other colonized settings; see Bastien et al., 2020) often overlook land dispossession (Carangio, 2023). Organizational studies frequently detach from the dispossession of Indigenous peoples, as does institutionalized migration scholarship (Indelicato, 2024), which rarely considers how the dissolution of Native societies (Wolfe, 2016) was also perpetuated by non-Indigenous immigrants (Indelicato, 2022; Piperoglu, 2018) who occupy a distinctontological position on unceded land (Moreton-Robinson, 2004). Colonial forces reshape the world to suit settlers (Tascon, 2004), affecting refugees impacted by global colonial power.White supremacy within Western-centric managerial practices (Alcadipani et al., 2012; Liu, 2020) depends on the possession (and theft) of Indigenous land, reinforcing Australia’s racialized capitalist system. This presentation, based on a forthcoming book, explores how hegemonic whiteness—understood as an imperialist, colonial, race-making Anglicized project—shapes the gendered careers of highly skilled immigrants in a colonized job market. Additionally,rigid gendered analyses of managerial practices offer reductive examinations of Indigenous lives (Bodkin-Andrews & Carlson, 2016) and remain tied to colonial gender binaries. O’Sullivan (2021) highlights how colonization forcibly imposed these binaries on Aboriginal lands. While studies on gender in management address immigrant women’s challenges in so-called Australia (Tran et al., 2024) and HRM’s role in intercultural adjustment, in this presentation I argue that HRM itself is rooted in Australia’s colonial foundation.
HRM practices, embedded in colonial power, regulate access to land, government support, and resources. Although colonial-patriarchal oppression does not entirely preclude career advancement, HRM strategies in Australia remainshaped by systemic colonial structures that have long extracted from and dispossessed Aboriginal society.

A short comparison between Australia and Italy will also be offered at the end of her presentation.
Jenny Petrucci, “A non-single story”: the postcolonial narratives of Igiaba Scego and Ribka Sibhatu’s
Italian history is embedded in colonialism and followed up through politics that are anchored in postcolonial history. This paper will address Postcolonialism as a term that wants to look at the legacy between past and contemporary racism and sexism and aim to investigate what extent such legacy is linked to postcolonial racist imaginaries through the narratives of Somali-Italian Igiaba Scego and Eritrean Ribka Sibhatu. Italy moved only recently from being a country of emigration to a country of immigration. The history of Italian colonialism is in fact a rather obscure and forgotten chapter in Italian history. The colonial narrative though has been redefined by the returned gaze of African immigrants in Italy who have started writing about their past and their encounter with Italy. These new writers are something new. Most of them are Italian mother tongue, were born in Italy, and are highly educated; their stories speak about an Italian past which had s been hidden or forgotten. This paper will analyze some of their works using Crenshaw’s intersectionality concept as a theoretical framework. Italy has not really dealt with the "representation of the other" since the images created by Fascist propaganda through schoolbooks, huge maps, advertisements, posters, songs, and films. Scego and Sibhatu not only engage with political and cultural issues such as immigration, citizenship, gender and race in their narratives, but they also unveil and challenge a forgotten memory of colonialism and imperialism while providing a crucial counter-narrative.They both contribute to redefine the Italian national identity according to new cultural and linguistic pluralism as anirreversible process of transformation. Their characters are women who experienced sexism and racism together and whose bodies move inside transnational spaces, languages, and cultures to tell a different, ‘multiple’ story.

Elena Grillo, Linguistic analysis of gender stereotypes in classic fairy tales
In this presentation I take a closer look at representations of the feminine and masculine through classic fairy tales andhow they have influenced the common imagination by creating gender stereotypes that still exist today and re-produce ideologies about them. Through the use of linguistic analysis software, I will explore the language used to connote men and women in classic fairy tales (adjectives, actions, particular expressions) and note the differences and the kind of imagery such connotations produce in common feeling.There are now solid studies in linguistics that confirm how language has a deep social dimension and how languageinfluences thought and perception of reality, how it is a social process, internal to society and conditioned by social elements (Saphir-Worf, De Sassure, Faircloug).
I will analyze two very famous fairy tales by Charles Perrault: “Cinderella” and “Puss in Boots.” Perrault had deliberately created fairy tales directed at the girls and boys of the noble classes of his time bypointing out to them the social roles they would play and the behaviors they would need to have in order to be socially accepted. A large cohort of writers began to write fairy tales to be read in salons and courts, and these writers exploited not only French folklore but also borrowed from the Italian tradition and especially from Straparola (Le piacevoli notti 1550 and 1553) and Giambattista Basile (Lo cunto de li cunti, 1634-36) and also began to translate oriental fairy tales that had an enormous influence. I will use a semiotic-linguistic reference scheme (England,Descartes,Collier-Meek) to analyze the mentioned fairy tales in depth and to compare adjectives, actions, and expressions that refer to men and women in the stories and reveal the gender stereotypes that are related precisely to the language used.

Francesca Conti, Gender, secrecy and innovation in Italian faith, folk healing and Segnature
This study examines the intersection of gender, faith, and secrecy in folk healing practices in contemporary Italy. Twomain case studies are presented: the Cancelli family's male-centered lineage of sciatic and back pain healing near Foligno and the Segnature tradition in the Bologna region. The Cancelli family's gift, conferred upon male descendants by Saints Peter and Paul, exemplifies a form of faith-based transmission. Women of the Cancelli family could not be initiated because marriage would require them to take on their husbands' family names, breaking the ancestral lineage. In order to practice their faith-based rituals, male members of the Cancelli family had to remain in the small village of Cancelli, continuing to welcome visitors in pain reaffirming the core message of Jesus as loving and helping others inneed. At present, Maurizio Cancelli is the last remaining resident of Cancelli and likely the last representative of this centuries-long faith-based practice.The Segnature tradition is not confined to a single family. It is widespread across Italy and neighboring countries(Switzerland, South of France), where it takes on different names. This study situates the Bologna region as a focal point where different trends seem to coexist. On one hand, Germana Tartari’s decision to publish and share the sacred words of the Segnature—a practice typically inherited through matrilineal channels and bound by secrecy—challenges long-standing initiation rites and gender norms in folk medicine. By making this knowledge public, Tartari disrupts the traditional frameworks of folk healing, opening pathways for broader participation beyond familial or gendered constraints.
Methodologically, this study employs ethnographic observations and biographical interviews. By juxtaposing theCancelli family's adherence to continuity with Tartari’s boundary-pushing approach, this research highlights how gendered dynamics influence both the preservation and transformation of folk healing traditions in modern Italy.
