Italian Feminisms

This issue of "Feminist Review" focuses on issues and debates within Italian feminisms in relation to newly emerging feminist scholarship, activism and creative practice. Precariousness has, especially among younger Italian feminists, become an organizing principle for articulating conditions of work, life, politics and creativity. This issue engages critically and imaginatively with these debates and developments. The authors adopt a range of disciplinary perspectives to address these issues. Topics include the issue of generational legacy and exchange within Italian feminisms; the examination of contemporary feminist political activism; Italian feminisms' engagement with female migration; the issue of precarious sexual identities; and Italian women's new relationship with the labour market. The issue will include a substantial 'Open Space' section, drawing on workshops held in Italy with feminist groups and activists.
