Equal but not too much: gender identities, gender differences
€ 3.00All human beings are on a constant quest for their own identity. Habits, behaviors, rights, responsibilities, consumption patterns, culture and emotions all contribute to shaping our identities more than we imagine. Can one speak of ‘gender identity’ in our time? And how many genders are there? Beyond the traditional stereotypes of male and females, the two speakers will discuss how the very notion of female identity has changed in contemporary Italy. They will examine the changes that have taken place in traditional role models (mother and/or emancipated woman). In particular, they will address the impact on gender identity of some of the role models being conveyed by advertising and the media: from femme fatale to starlet, from ‘Barbie-doll’ political candidate to transgender.
