Bonaiti, M: Corbusier in India. Villa Sarabhai, Ahmedabad, 1
Oggetto del volume, che include un saggio di Alessandra Rampazzo, è villa Sarabhai, costruita da Le Corbusier ad Ahmedabad, in India, tra il 1951 e il 1956 per Manorama Sarabhai, esponente di una tra le più raffinate e potenti famiglie imprenditoriali indiane. Sullo sfondo di un'India da poco uscita dalla dominazione britannica, la casa progettata per Manorama Sarabhai ¿ tra le più enigmatiche e meno conosciute opere lecorbuseriane ¿ propone il tipo di villa mediterranea messa a punto da Le Corbusier nel corso degli anni Quaranta del secolo scorso. Modello, questo, che sotto la guida di un'esigente committente, si apre a molteplici contaminazioni, che trovano nei modi di vita tradizionali e nel paesaggio culturale locale le proprie specifiche ragioni. Costruita all'ombra della più eclatante impresa che vede Le Corbusier dare forma negli stessi anni a Chandigarh ¿ la città di nuova fondazione nel Punjab ¿ la villa è il risultato di un complesso processo progettuale e costruttivo che si dipana sotto l'attento controllo dello studio parigino, grazie all'apporto di fidati collaboratori, tra i quali un giovanissimo Balkrishna Doshi (futuro protagonista dell'architettura contemporanea indiana) e Jean Louis Véret. Di quest'ultimo sono gli scatti fotografici dei cantieri delle diverse fabbriche lecorbuseriane ad Ahmedabad ¿ riproposti nel presente volume a confronto con immagini dello stato attuale della villa.

Vivere una vita femminista
Vivere una vita femminista in un mondo non femminista può essere faticoso, perché faticoso è lottare contro la violenza di un sistema che ci promette la felicità solo a patto di adeguarci ai suoi meccanismi. Intrecciando la sua narrazione con quella di altre femministe nere e of color prima di lei, Sara Ahmed ci offre una riflessione personale e politica sull'esperienza quotidiana di una vita dedicata a essere quella che chiama una killjoy femminista, una guastafeste, un'ammazzagioia. Vivere una vita come guastafeste femministe significa assumersi la fatica di abdicare alla normalità ed essere caparbiamente inopportune nel mettere in discussione l'orizzonte di felicità socialmente appropriato. Ahmed ci propone strategie di sopravvivenza affinché il femminismo possa continuare a esistere e a cambiare il mondo, ci sprona a coltivare l'insoddisfazione che ci spinge a creare "il mondo a cui aspiriamo", ci incita a svelare la violenza che si nasconde negli imperativi della norma, a trovare soluzioni creative agli ostacoli quotidiani e a creare reti di cura e supporto per continuare la lotta. Vivere una vita femminista è una riflessione teorica che si fa prassi: il libro mette a disposizione un manifesto e un kit di sopravvivenza per killjoy femministe, una sopravvivenza intesa come un progetto collettivo per mantenere in vita noi stesse e la nostra lotta. Perché, per sopravvivere, il femminismo ha bisogno delle femministe tanto quanto le femministe hanno bisogno del femminismo. Una vita femminista non è solo fatica, e prendersi cura di noi stesse è parte integrante della lotta: circondiamoci di tempo, vita, ironia, emozioni, corpi e di altre guastafeste per costruirci una felicità collettiva, una felicità femminista.

Unveiling Feminist Resistance. Affect, Gender, and Rebellion in "The Yellow Wallpaper"
Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0 (Maximum), University of Hannover, language: English, abstract: In this term Paper, I argue that Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" transcends a simple narrative of madness, instead serving as a powerful feminist critique of patriarchal control and societal oppression. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, I integrate affect theory and feminist literary analysis to uncover how the protagonist's emotional descent becomes a subversive act of defiance. Drawing on Spinoza's concept of affect as "the power to affect and be affected" and Massumi's interpretation of pre-personal intensities, I demonstrate that the protagonist's affective journey challenges the gender norms and medical authority imposed by her husband, a physician embodying patriarchal control. My research method combines close textual analysis with theoretical frameworks from scholars such as Brian Massumi, Gilles Deleuze, and Sara Ahmed. This theoretical lens allows for a nuanced examination of affective experiences in literature, particularly the protagonist's complex emotional reactions to her environment and interactions with male figures. Historical contextualization of 19th-century gender roles and societal expectations, grounded in the works of Regina Markell Morantz and Catherine Golden, provides crucial insights into the pressures women faced as custodians of domestic and family health. The analysis delves into key elements such as the symbolic act of peeling the wallpaper, which emerges as an embodied and affective rebellion against societal imprisonment. Rather than a descent into madness, this act signifies the protagonist's journey toward self-awareness and liberation.

Broken Record
Gendered Abuse in Academia"Sharing our stories of complaint matters even when, or perhaps because, we have shared these stories many times before … The message is hopeful and hard. Yes: there is still so much work to do. Yes: we have to keep saying it because they keep doing it. Yes: the need to repeat ourselves can be tiring, frustrating. That is why we need to say it more and for more to say it." — Sara Ahmed, from the afterword "As the editors hope and intend, this volume functions as a complaint collective. In their specificity and range, the essays cast light on many corners of academe, elucidating patterns of harassment and the blocking of efforts to prevent or redress harm. Although the essays document diabolically successful campaigns to isolate women academics and demonstrate the fragile bonds that hold whistleblowers together, the volume also provides the context necessary to understand the pervasiveness and nuances of harassment, as well as the processes that leave those who complain open to doubt and discrediting." — Leigh Gilmore, author of The #MeToo Effect: What Happens When We Believe Women

How We Make Each Other
Trans Life at the Edge of the University“Trans life grows in impossible places. In How We Make Each Other, Perry Zurn charts a rhizomatic story of how trans life in excess of liberal scripts of inclusion has and might yet grow in the university-one such impossible place. I cannot wait to teach this book, to nourish and provide historicity to my students’ agitation, their unruly sociality, and their sense that another university is possible---is, in fact, what they make together every day.” - Cameron Awkward-Rich, author of (The Terrible We: Thinking with Trans Maladjustment) “In giving careful attention to the ingenuity and radicality of trans makers and movements, Perry Zurn is simultaneously documenting and creating new epistemologies of transness. He helps us read transness in the university not as a problem but as a jubilant more-ness beyond the dichotomy of problem and solution. In his compelling, lovely, and often heartbreaking renderings, trans life is a form of creation that draws on direct action, linguistic experimentation, and joyful solidarity to find alliances and forge community. This book will be cherished and loved by many people for a very long time to come.” - Gayle Salamon, author of (The Life and Death of Latisha King: A Critical Phenomenology of Transphobia) “This book is lovely! Perry Zurn has an unusually graceful way with words, and what he’s saying is powerful stuff.” - Sandy Stone, author, artist, performer, engineer, and debonair trans-about-town
