Uno strano potere: reading di Nadia Terranova
A cura dell’associazione culturale Le Sfogliatelle
"There is, in motherhood, a strange power," wrote Virginia Woolf (who had no children) with brilliant insight. An auratic, ancestral, frightening power with which those born in women's bodies at some point inevitably confront: to welcome or reject it, to pursue, avoid or circumscribe it, to exalt or snub it, most often to embrace the contradictions and complexity each story brings. From Adrienne Rich to Rachel Cusk, from Adriana Cavarero to Elena Ferrante, from Annie Ernaux to Anne Sexton, a poetic, literary and philosophical constellation of frosted doubts to look together inside the darkness and the lights of one of the most shifting and crucial knots in women's history.
