George Smith e la tavoletta del Diluvio / George Smith and the Flood Tablet
No full textOn December 2, 1872, an extraordinary discovery was presented at the Society for Biblical Archeology in London: a Chaldean account of the Flood, discovered in the library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh and strikingly similar to the biblical one. The text, written in Akkadian, was part of a series of cuneiform tablets on the deeds of Gilgamesh, the hero, the builder of Uruk, the king who sought a solution to death, and who, not finding it, obtained wisdom. The author of the discovery was George Smith, a former banknote engraver and brilliant self-taught Assyriologist. The great interest shown by the newspapers for the discovery is visible in the many articles written on the subject and in the fact that it was one of them, the Daily Telegraph, to finance a new mission in northern Mesopotamia, to find the missing parts of the tablet. Two successive expeditions were funded by the British Museum, but during the latter one George Smith fell ill and died in Aleppo, unaware of the extent of his discoveries. The discussion on the relationship between Mesopotamia and the Bible continued for decades until it broke out in the controversy known as Babel-Bibel Streit in the early 20th century

Greenlandic Mothers, Danish Mothers, and "Mother Denmark": Displays of Motherhood in Mâliâraq Vebæk’s Historien om Katrine
No full textHistorien om Katrine (1982; “Katrine’s Story”) is the Danish translation, made by the author Mâliâraq Vebæk herself, of her Greenlandic novel Búsime napíneq (1981; “Meeting on a Bus”). The text recalls the tragic fate of Katrine, a young Greenlandic woman who leaves for Denmark to get married with Erik, a Danish seasonal worker. Her dreams of a happy life with him start fading as she learns of his infidelity and consequently falls prey of alcohol abuse. Katrine’s alcoholism is the reason why she is no longer deemed capable of mothering her daughter, Emilie. Motherhood, then, emerges in the novel as part of Katrine’s individual drama, but seems to acquire a more ‘collective’ significance, if one takes into consideration the other maternal figures of the book, who are clearly divided in Greenlandic and Danish mothers. Whilst Historien om Katrine has already drawn the attention of academia as a piece of migrant and post-colonial literature, less consideration has been given to its implications regarding gender roles and their representation, as well as to the theme of motherhood. My paper addresses this gap and aims at illustrating how this term – both in its literal and its metaphorical connotations – is employed throughout the novel. In doing so, I will parallelly attempt to verify whether the intersection of ethnicity and gender gives new life to long-lasting discourses that characterise the Danish-Greenlandic post-colonial context and whether it constitutes a useful heuristic tool to analyse asymmetrical power relations
Follow-Up of Patients After Male-to-Female (Mtf) Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS)
No full textFollowing surgery and legalization of the gender reassignment, long-term physical, sexual, hormonal, and psychological follow-up is necessary to establish and maintain the success of the procedure. Since persistent regret after sex reassignment surgery must be considered, along with suicide, as the worst conceivable outcome of SRS [1], it is crucial to know the opinion of patients when evaluating the cosmetic and functional results of the surgery [2]
