The Sexual/Political
The Sexual/Political engages with contemporary political issues in sexuality through a survey of modern philosophy, psychoanalytic thought, 20th-century political theory, and more recent queer philosophies. The book investigates how the sexual has perturbed philosophical, political, and psychoanalytic thought and how this has fed into discrimination against the LGBTQI community. It analyses the social stigmas applied to public and private sexual acts and the psychopolitical processes leading to the prevalence of neo-fascist populism in Italy and the world. Tracing the history of sexuality through Freud, Marx, Fanon, and Foucault, among many others, Bernini considers why the sexual has always...
The Oxford Handbook of Women and International Law

Italian Trans Geographies
How does the mapping of Italian culture change when it is charted from the perspective of gender-variant people? Italian Trans Geographies tackles this question by retracing trans and gender-variant experiences within the Italian peninsula and along diasporic routes. The volume adopts a cross-disciplinary approach that combines scholarly analyses with grassroots engagement and creative work and centers the voices of Italian and Italian American transpeople through autobiographies, memoirs, interviews, poetry, and visual works. The contributions include works by key Italian trans activists, including Romina Cecconi, Porpora Marcasciano, and Helena Velena, as well as critical interpretations of scholars and artists (many of whom self-identify as trans). Ultimately, these voices show how trans people have contributed to shaping Italian places and cultures while, in turn, being shaped by those places and cultures. Through its attention to geospecific sites, the book highlights blind spots in the hegemonic Anglo-American discourse about gender and overlooked intersections between LGBTQIA+ global discourse and local realities.

Anti-Gender Campaigns in Europe
After decades of steady progress in terms of gender and sexual rights, several parts of Europe are facing new waves of resistance to a so-called ‘gender ideology’ or ‘gender theory’. Opposition to progressive gender equality is manifested in challenges to marriage equality, abortion, reproductive technologies, gender mainstreaming, sex education, sexual liberalism, transgender rights, antidiscrimination policies and even to the notion of gender itself. This book examines how an academic concept of gender, when translated by religious organizations such as the Roman Catholic Church, can become a mobilizing tool for, and the target of, social movements. How can we explain religious dis...
Geopolitics of Global Catholicism
Geopolitics of Global Catholicism uncovers the key trends in today’s Catholicism, providing an incisive analysis of its deep entanglement with national, regional, as well as global politics. This book offers an exciting exploration of five versions of local Catholicism(s) and sheds light on the various theo-political constellations that not only differ widely across these national contexts but also have global geopolitical consequences. It is built around a novel theoretical argument showing that Catholic geopolitics contains not only a spatial dimension (as classic geopolitical studies would have it) but also a temporal one. As a consequence, the Catholic role in the world cannot be simpl...
Anti-Gender Mobilizations, Religion and Politics
This book presents an innovative exploration of the rise of political forces that have coalesced around the anti-gender movement, shaping strategies that advocate novel intersections of religion, politicization of gender and sexuality, and radical and populist rejuvenation of conservative ideologies. Through an extensive examination of activist discourses and mobilizations, the author offers a comprehensive political analysis of anti-gender mobilization, encompassing a multidimensional examination of religious, activist, and political opportunity structures. This study unveils three distinct facets characterizing these emerging (Catholic) movements: their relative autonomy from the Church (e...
Violences de genre : retours sur un problème féministe
Dès les années 1970, les manifestations féministes tout comme les travaux universitaires ont mis en évidence l'articulation entre genre et violences interpersonnelles, mais une telle perspective rencontre une nouvelle actualité, avec l'institutionnalisation de la question qui se voit confrontée à des résistances antiféministes.
Transformations du travail, transformation des masculinités
Prenant appui sur des enquêtes menées dans des contextes variés, ce numéro se penche sur les mécanismes complexes de transformation, parfois synchronisée, parfois non synchronisée, du travail et de l'ordre du genre. Montrant comment les situations de travail et les masculinités s'alimentent, il ouvre une réflexion sur la façon dont les transformations globales de la structure économique et politique sont indissociables de transformations profondes de tous les rapports de pouvoir, des plus visibles, publics, aux plus intimes.
Varia
Ce numéro, sans dossier (une première dans l’histoire des Cahiers du Genre), est l’occasion de faire le point sur l’avenir de la revue et les tensions qui concernent la période actuelle, traversée de backlash en tous genres dont la recherche féministe est une cible privilégié.
