Le sue rifles- sioni e le sue considerazioni conclusive sul valore della nonviolenza Ben esprimono lo spirito che guida il progetto di ricerca di DEP: la volontà di guardare all’altro come a un essere umano di pari dignità, non come a un rivale o a una minaccia; il richiamo alla pazienza, al senso del limite, alla sobrietà, all’umiltà, alla cura delle cose piccole e gracili, che il prometeismo maschile-militar-tecnologico del Novecento si è diligentemente impegnato a distruggere. Segue la rubrica Ricerche, composta da una parte monografica e da una parte miscellanea. La parte monografica raccoglie alcune delle relazioni presentate al convegno Donne disarmanti, promosso da DEP nel novembre 2018 con il patroci- nio della Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, a cui si è aggiunto il saggio di Benedikte Zitouni sui movimenti contro il nucleare negli anni Ottanta. Tutte le relazioni presentate al convegno, infatti, hanno messo a tema la nascita e lo sviluppo dei movimenti contro il nucleare, prestando attenzione alle motivazioni individuali e allo stato d’animo collettivo, alla filosofia sottesa a tattiche e strategie, ai meccanismi decisionali e alle modalità di diffusione degli obiettivi. La parte miscellanea ospita tre saggi; il saggio di Diana Barreto sulla politica del governo di Città del Messico nei primi decenni del XVI secolo nei confronti delle donne, quello di Mayumi Mizutamari su Michiko Ishimure (1927-2018), il critico sociale che ha posto all’attenzione dell’opinione pubblica la gravità delle malattie causate dall’inquinamento da mercurio a Minamata e infine il saggio di Pia Masiero che analizza la visione eco-centrica del romanzo The Overstory di Ri- chard Powers, vincitore del Premio Pulitzer 2019. La ruBrica Documenti raccoglie la prima traduzione in italiano a cura di Silvia Alfonsi dell’ultima parte del Libro del re di Bettina Brentano sulla povertà nel Vogtland, un quartiere di Berlino nei primi decenni dell’Ottocento; segue la tradu- zione un racconto di Claire Goll, pacifista e scrittrice espressionista tedesca e un intervento del 1965 della scienziata Gertrud Woker sulle drammatiche conseguenze delle sperimentazioni nucleari e del processo della fissione nelle centrali atomiche. Quest’ultimo documento si può leggere a corredo del profilo Biografico di Woker tracciato da Maria Grazia Suriano nel numero 35 di DEP1 e del saggio di Bruna 1https://www.unive.it/pag/fileadmin/user_upload/dipartimenti/DSLCC/documenti/DEP/numeri/n35/0 2_Suriano_modello.pdf). © DEP ISSN 1824 - 4483 Introduzione DEP n. 41-42 / 2020 Bianchi, “Eravamo commosse dalla sincerità del papa” in questo numero della ri- vista. La ruBrica Interventi e testimonianze accoglie il dettagliato resoconto di Rebec- ca Rovoletto del viaggio e degli incontri in territorio zapatista quando, nel marzo 2018, diecimila donne si sono riunite per il Primer Encuentro Internacional, Poli- tico, Artistico, Deportivo y Cultural de las Mujeres que Luchan. Infine, come in ogni numero miscellaneo, la ruBrica Finestra sul presente, dedi- cata al tema del rapporto tra genere, generazioni e cambiamento climatico. La ru- brica si apre con una rassegna degli studi apparsi negli ultimi anni, ospita il saggio di Chiara Corazza su Terry Tempest Williams, la scrittrice e attivista americana che ha dedicato la propria vita a difendere le terre incolte dall’estrazione di combu- stibili fossili, la traduzione in italiano dei Principi di Bali (2002) sul camBiamento climatico, punto di riferimento di attivisti/e di tutto il mondo. Chiudono la rubrica la presentazione del rapporto Roots for the Future del 2016 a cura della Global Gender and Climate Alliance (GGCA), della risoluzione del Parlamento europeo del 2018: Donne, parità di genere e giustizia climatica e una scheda del numero speciale della rivista “Hypatia” dedicata al Climate Change (2014). Nella consapevolezza della drammaticità del cambiamento climatico, gli scritti, i convegni, gli interventi si moltiplicano di giorno in giorno; le analisi e le interpre- tazioni vengono continuamente riviste, sviluppate e messe in discussione. Pertanto, anche nei prossimi numeri la Finestra sul presente, che si propone come uno spa- zio di riflessione e di dibattito, nonché di raccolta di studi, documenti e testimo- nianze, intende tornare sull’argomento affrontandolo dal punto di vista dei femmi- nismi contemporanei. II Storie da scoprire, storie da ripensare di Anna Bravo* Poco tempo fa ci ha lasciato Anna Bravo, membro del comitato scientifico di DEP. In sua memoria ri-pubbichiamo il saggio Storie da scoprire, storie da ripensare – originariamente comparso sulla rivista “Parolechiave”, 40, 2009, pp. 99-120 – che tocca temi cruciali per la nostra rivista. Quale nonviolenza Le guerre del Novecento e di questi primi anni Duemila hanno a tal punto inve- rato i timori e gli avvertimenti dei pacifisti che sentirne ventilare di nuove suona incredibile. L’unica a conservare l’immagine del conflitto giusto e necessario è la Seconda guerra mondiale. Guerra annunciata e resa difficilmente evitabile dalla po- litica di Germania, Italia, Giappone. Guerra a forte componente ideologica, civiltà contro barbarie, democrazie contro totalitarismi – una visione così radicata e fun- zionale che ancora oggi c’è chi tende a dimenticare il patto Molotov-Ribbentrop, e ad arruolare implicitamente fra le democrazie l’URSS del 1941-45. Dopo gli esiti dello strumento guerra e il crollo incruento dei regimi all’Est, ci si poteva aspettare uno spostamento delle opinioni pubbliche verso la nonviolenza, e in parte è avvenuto. Ma interesse non sempre equivale a informazione. La nonvio- lenza rischia il destino di quei classici che tutti dicono di conoscere senza averli let- ti; chi di nonviolenza scrive e parla ha spesso l’impressione di dover ogni volta ri- cominciare da zero. La si scambia con una rinuncia ai conflitti, quando è una poli- tica per gestirli in modo evoluto; con una pratica per anime belle, capeggiata da esotici visionari, riservata a società con tasso minimo di tensioni interne, o a situa- zioni in cui gli avversari pongono alcuni limiti alla propria distruttività. Al contra- rio, l’India era un paese gremito di contraddizioni, e Gandhi un leader sperimenta- to, abile nel negoziare e nell’organizzare grandi scene di teatro politico da esporre agli occhi del mondo; quanto alla condotta delle controparti, si dà vita a lotte non- violente persino nell’Europa sotto dominio nazista. Invece che un umanesimo dalle molte radici, alcuni vedono nella nonviolenza un’emanazione esclusiva delle reli- gioni, e nelle religioni il vecchio oppio dei popoli che Kurt Vonnegut ha reinterpre- tato così: “Come amico sincero degli oppressi, [Marx] voleva dire che era contento che avessero qualcosa con cui alleviare almeno un po’ le loro pene”1. Fra i militanti * Si ringrazia la direzione di “Parolechiave” per averci permesso di pubblicare il saggio. 1 Kurt Vonnegut, Ricordando l’apocalisse, Feltrinelli, Milano 2008, p. 26. © DEP ISSN 1824 – 4483 Anna Bravo DEP n.

Classification PG. 95 min. DVD, Columbia. Historical Themes/Topics War and peace in the 20th century: Cold War, nuclear arms race, atomic energy, social values and climate of 1960s Historical Context According to many historians, rapid advances in science and technology during the 20th century have contributed to making it one of the most destructive eras in world history. Arguably, in a bare-bones approach, history can be characterized as a continuing series of violent attacks between groups of humans. Typically, war is studied in terms of geographic and political realignments. However, something happened to warfare in the 20th century that has changed our collective understanding of war and peace in western societ y. The ability to understand and harness atomic energy is characteristic of the advancements in science and technology in the 20th century. It reflects the attempt among modern scientists to understand the smallest particles that are the building blocks of matter, whether in particle physics, microbiology, genetic research, or the development of the microchip. The development of the atomic bomb allowed humans to develop weapons of mass destruction. For the first time in history, human beings have the power to wipe out entire civilizations in seconds. At the same time, the increasing destructiveness of warfare is communicated with immediacy using modern Doctor Strangelove 133 communications technologies. The fact that mass communications include real images of real people suffering has played a role in developing a modern sensibility of the “other.” Faced with images of the destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, North Americans saw children and families as well as whole neighbourhoods destroyed in the blink of an eye.

  • 47 Strategies for a Cross-Cultural Ecofeminist Literary Criticism Greta
    Author: Gaard, Greta Title: Strategies for a Cross-Cultural Ecofeminist Literary Criticism Strategies for a Cross-Cultural Ecofeminist Literary Criticism Greta Gaard University of Wisconsin-River Falls Interdisciplinarity, multiculturalism, internationalism—according to Cheryll Glotfelty, these are crucial areas for ecocriticism’s continued development. Drawing on fifty years of interdisciplinary work in Women’s Studies, ecofeminist literary critics with a history of work in multiculturalism would seem well poised to offer bridging strategies toward an international ecocriticism. Are there insights we can draw from the analyses of multicultural feminisms within the United States to guide the development of ecofeminist literary criticisms cross-culturally? What features of this ecocriticism will need to change? For if both feminism and ecocriticism are grounded in specific material, cultural, and economic relations to place and history, then ecofeminist literary criticism cannot be expected to remain the same from one set of eco-social relations to the next. Like much of ecocriticism, ecofeminist literary criticism is grounded in activism, and committed to using literary criticism as a strategy for ecodefense. In the west, ecofeminism is an environmental theory and practice that developed in the 1980s through antinuclear peace protests at Greenham Common in England, as well as at Seneca Falls and at the Vol. 1 Vol. Women’s Pentagon Actions; it has roots in feminist vegetarianism through Feminists for Animal Rights, antiracist feminism through the Woman Earth Feminist Peace Institute, No. 1 feminist earth-based spiritualities and feminist political engagements as well as through the international Green movement. After nearly two decades of activist and theorized engagements, ecofeminist literary criticism took root in U.S., Australian, and European ecocriticism, reaching ecocritics in Japan, China, and Taiwan in the past decade.

  • Full Thesis Draft No Pics
    A whole new world: Global revolution and Australian social movements in the long Sixties Jon Piccini BA Honours (1st Class) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion & Classics Abstract This thesis explores Australian social movements during the long Sixties through a transnational prism, identifying how the flow of people and ideas across borders was central to the growth and development of diverse campaigns for political change. By making use of a variety of sources—from archives and government reports to newspapers, interviews and memoirs—it identifies a broadening of the radical imagination within movements seeking rights for Indigenous Australians, the lifting of censorship, women’s liberation, the ending of the war in Vietnam and many others. It locates early global influences, such as the Chinese Revolution and increasing consciousness of anti-racist struggles in South Africa and the American South, and the ways in which ideas from these and other overseas sources became central to the practice of Australian social movements. This was a process aided by activists’ travel. Accordingly, this study analyses the diverse motives and experiences of Australian activists who visited revolutionary hotspots from China and Vietnam to Czechoslovakia, Algeria, France and the United States: to protest, to experience or to bring back lessons. While these overseas exploits, breathlessly recounted in articles, interviews and books, were transformative for some, they also exposed the limits of what a transnational politics could achieve in a local setting. Australia also became a destination for the period’s radical activists, provoking equally divisive responses.

Queer Ecologies: Sex, Nature, Politics, Desire. Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 2010. GRETA GAARD Drawing on a range of queer and ecological theories rather a single ortho- dox perspective, the thirteen essays in Queer Ecologies develop a strong argument for queering environmentalisms and greening queer theory, in three steps: challenging the heteronormativity of investigations into the ‘sexuality’ of nature, exploring the intersections between queer and ecological inflections of bio/politics (including spatial politics), and ulti- mately queering environmental affect, ethics, and desire. Clearly, notions of sexuality have shaped social constructions of nature, as seen in the familiar concepts and creation of wilderness, national and urban parks, and car camping. As the first book-length volume to establish the inter- sections of queer theory and environmentalisms at such depth, Queer Ecologies covers a broad range of topics—gay cruising in the parks, les- bian rural retreats, transgressive sexual behaviors among diverse species, literary and cultural narratives of queer/nature. It also establishes topics for future development, i.e., exploring the intersection of speciesism and heterosexism in queer ecologies, and developing a focus on the constitu- tion of the non-white queer subject.
