Charlotte Ross, Eccentricity and Sameness. Discourses on Lesbianism and Desire between Women in Italy, 1860s-1930s

Review of the book Eccentricity and Sameness. Discourses on Lesbianism and Desire between Women in Italy, 1860s-1930s by Charlotte Ross.La quasi assenza di rappresentazioni del desiderio omoerotico tra donne nella storia italiana viene consacrata come assiomatica. In Eccentricity and Sameness. Discourses on Lesbianism and Desire between Women in Italy, 1860s-1930s, Charlotte Ross smentisce questo assunto fornendo un’analisi dettagliata della storia del desiderio tra donne e della genealogia della soggettività lesbica. Il libro, pubblicato da Peter Lang nella collana “Italian Modernities” diretta da Pier Paolo Antonello e Robert Gordon, è l’unico volume che, al suo interno, si occupi di sessualità.

Morphodynamics of coastal areas represented in the new geomorphologic map of Italy: Draw the landforms of the past to outline the future

In the framework of the revision of Italian geomorphological legend (CARG Project) published in 1994 by the National Geological Service, the AIGeo-Working Group Coastal Morphodynamic (WGCM) dealt with the revision of the legend concerning the landforms of the coast. The aims of the work were the updating of the symbology on the basis of the post-1994 results in the geomorphological researches and creating a legend more vocated to the solution of the problems of applied geomorphology and more suitable to be managed in GIS environment. The WGCM started from the critical analysis of the classifications of coastal landforms proposed during the last century and it continued through a scientific discussion on the work that the members of the group performed by means of 12 case studies in which a correlation between landforms, processes and, dynamics was made. The geomorphological legend proposed by the WGCM has to be considered as a starting point and a work in progress. It remains, indeed, open so that new data can be added and updated as required. Besides, the WGCM tried to contribute to the morphodynamic classification of the coasts around the Mediterranean basin

Geomorphological map of the Italian coast: From a descriptive to a morphodynamic approach.

This study was conducted within the framework of the \u201cCoastal Morphodynamics\u201d Working Group (WG) of the Italian Association of physical Geography and Geomorphology (AIGeo), according to the Institute for the Protection and Environmental Research (ISPRA) for the updating of the legend for the \u201cGeomorphological Map of Italy\u201d. The WG deals with the legend for the coastal areas, focusingits work on marine, lagoon and aeolian landforms, processes and deposits. In particular, the legend aims to classify coastal landforms in order to contribute to hazard and risk assessment,for supportingland-use planning and management. The legend allows the mapping of each landform in function of its genesis as well as its evolution and present dynamics, providing information about morphological characteristics at small and large scales. The relict morphological features and the active ones are reported along with the quantitative parameters useful for the description of the present wave/climate conditions and morphodynamics. As a result of the activities and experiments carried out by the \u201cCoastal Morphodynamics\u201d AIGeo WG during the last years, some examples of coastal geomorphological mappings at different scales (1:5,000 and 1:25,000) have been developed and are presented in this paper. The maps focus both on littoral plains and rocky coast dynamics as well as on the interactions with anthropic modifications
