Uno sguardo dal margine. A proposito della narrativa femminile italiana del secolo XXI

Abstract · A Gaze from the Margin. Italian Women’s Narrative of the 21st Century · In this paper I intend to reflect on the conditions that might make it possible to build a critical map of Italian women writer’s fiction of the new millennium. I will especially focus on the conditions that make it possible to tackle women’s writing not only as a sum of individual authorial experiences, but rather in the systemic terms of a literary community made recognisable by a gendered gaze. I will first examine the minor attention by Italian critics on women’s fiction, then I will evaluate the usefulness of an articulatory approach, inspired by the feminist concepts of intersectionality and margin, for its description.
