Summary

La lingua non è né neutra né neutrale, soprattutto dal punto di vista del genere. Può creare, accentuare o conservare discriminazioni che finora hanno colpito soprattutto le donne. Quel che è peggio, tutto questo è avvenuto nella sostanziale indifferenza di tanti e tante, che hanno continuato a parlare o a scrivere in un certo modo: l’hanno fatto per abitudine, per scarsa consapevolezza o seguendo la convinzione che i problemi da affrontare fossero ben altri.
Occorre imparare a maneggiare con cura le parole, perché certe situazioni possano davvero cambiare. È importante farlo nella vita quotidiana come sui mezzi d’informazione, nel mondo della formazione come nelle attività delle istituzioni.
A oltre trent’anni dalla fondamentale ricerca sul sessismo nella lingua italiana curata dalla linguista Alma Sabatini, voci e esperienze diverse danno conto di un cammino tutt’altro che concluso verso la reale parità dei generi e le pari opportunità: occorre uno sforzo collettivo sul piano linguistico, politico, sociale e culturale per una comunità davvero plurale e inclusiva.La lingua non è né neutra né neutrale, soprattutto dal punto di vista del genere.

    Autobiography is one of the most popular of written forms. From Casanova to Benjamin Franklin to the Kardashians, individuals throughout history have recorded their own lives and experiences. These personal writings are central to the work of literary critics, philosophers, historians, and psychologists, who have found in autobiographies from across the centuries not only an understanding of the ways in which lives have been lived, but the most fundamental accounts of what it means to be a self in the world.In this Very Short Introduction Laura Marcus defines what we mean by "autobiography", and considers its relationship with similar literary forms such as memoirs, journals, letters, diaries, and essays. Analyzing the core themes in autobiographical writing, such as confession, conversion and testimony; romanticism and the journeying self; Marcus discusses the autobiographical consciousness (and the roles played by time, memory and identity), and considers the relationship between psychoanalysis and autobiography. Exploring the themes of self-portraiture and performance, Marcus also discusses the ways in which fiction and autobiography have shaped each other.

    “This incisive work” examining Obama’s speeches and the theories of W.E.B. DuBois “illuminates the influences of words and ideas” (Choice). 
     
    The racial history of US citizenship is vital to our understanding of both citizenship and race. Robert E. Terrill argues that, to invent a robust manner of addressing one another as citizens, Americans must draw on the indignities of racial exclusion that have stained citizenship since its inception. In Double-Consciousness and the Rhetoric of Barack Obama, Terrill demonstrates how President Barack Obama’s public address models such a discourse. 
     
    Terrill contends that Obama’s most effective oratory invites his audiences to experience a form of “double-consciousness,” famously described by W. E. B. Du Bois as a feeling of “two-ness” resulting from the African American experience of “always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others.” An effect of cruel alienation, this double-consciousness can also offer valuable perspectives on society. When addressing fellow citizens, Obama asks each to share in the “peculiar sensation” that Du Bois described. 
     
    Through close analyses of selected speeches from Obama’s 2008 campaign and first presidential term, this book argues that Obama does not present double-consciousness merely as a point of view but as an idiom with which we might speak to one another. Of course, as Du Bois’s work reminds us, double-consciousness results from imposition and encumbrance, so that Obama’s oratory presents a mode of address that emphasizes the burdens of citizenship together with the benefits, the price as well as the promise.
