We live in times in which gender-equitable speech is a political issue and so-called masculinists use the internet for their anti-feminist fantasies. The tenth Italy Day at the University of Kassel takes a historical perspective and examines discourses on violence and gender in Italy from the Renaissance to the Regency.
The lectures examine historical, literary and artistic representations of physical and psychological violence and gender roles and attributions. They will cover everything from competitions in the early modern period, portraits of victims and perpetrators in painting and the literary examination of crime reporting in 19th and 20th century verismo to current films about female murders.
Program:
14:00: Welcome/introduction

Here is a small teaser:
"C'è ancora domani" is Paola Cortellesi's first film, set in Rome in the late 1940s. It revolves around Delia, wife and mother, who is caught between tradition and personal freedom. Her husband Ivano often displays authoritarian traits, while Delia takes care of her tyrannical father-in-law. Delia's only consolation is her friendship with Marisa. The family plans the engagement of their daughter Marcella to Giulio, but a mysterious letter encourages Delia to strive for a better future. The award-winning film was released in cinemas in spring 2024 and is already an audience favorite and a huge success in Italy and internationally.
