Queer Luhmann! Alcune riflessioni luhmanniane sul queer (o alcune riflessioni queer su Luhmann)
Full text linkThe author tries to outline some reflections upon queer from the point of view of Luhmann’s systems theory. The purpose of the article is linking the queer as deconstruction to the deconstruction as second-order observation. Following the four pillars of Luhmann’s theory – form, differentiation, observation, meaning –, queer will be analysed by the lens of systems theory as analysis of the form or the unity of distinction. The analysis of the form is three-levels structured: differentiation analysis (or factual extension), observation analysis (or social extension), and semantic analysis (or temporal extension)
Maternità lesbica e paternità gay: problemi - ordinari - di re-entry. Alcune riflessioni a partire da Luhmann / Lesbian motherhood and gay fatherhood: daily problems of re-entry. Some Luhmannian reflections
No full textIn the article, the author offers some reflections upon same-sex family from a Luhmannian perspective. In particularly, the article analyses lesbian motherhood as well as gay fatherhood and the problem about how re-introduce the donor (the man who gives his semen, the woman who is the surrogate mother or gives her gestational capacity) into the family unity. Who is this person for the family? How could the parents re-introduce him or her into the story of their family
“Gender Is the Mood You Feel Yourself; You Can Feel Male or Female, a Little Bit Male and a Little Bit Female, or Neither”. Youths’ Sexual Scripts and (Personal) Gender Identity
Full text linkUsing Gagnon and Simon’s script theory, the author tries to highlight some processes linked to gender identity and sexuality among young people (18-26 years). In the first section, the article will focus almost exclusively on Gagnon and Simon’s theory and how the concept of script is articulated on
the three different levels – the intrapsychic script, the interpersonal script, and
the cultural scenario. Then, the second section will outline some personal and interpersonal scripts of the young people interviewed, through which they form their own gender identity. The aim of the article is to bring to light the processes underlying how young people develop their scripts in relation to their own identity, linked to sex, gender and sexual orientation
Esthétique queer: réflexions sur le queer à partir de Georg Simmel = Queer Aesthetics: Reflections on the Queer through the Lens of Georg Simmel
No full textThe article wants to outline some theoretical reflections about queer aesthetics. Who is a queer individual? How can a queer individual be imagined? The queer subject or, better still, queer identities, shatter the dominant perspective of society in the same way as Simmel’s stranger. The queer subject is the strange(r) of society and in society and, as the author shall try to show, queer could therefore be observed, from that Simmelian perspective, as a social form. In fact, the essential point the article is about to make is that queer should be seen as a cultural form. The contribution will sketch out a possible definition of queer. The figure of the outsider and Simmel’s social aesthetic theory will then be taken up in order to develop a possible link between the two – the perception of queerness and the individual’s reaction to it. Finally, in the conclusions will mention various reflections on the meaning of queer as a cultural form of our modern life
Nostro figlio. La maternità surrogata tra dono, diritto e contratto
Full text linkIl dibattito sulla maternità surrogata, fin dalle sue origini, ha alimentato la propria complessità, anziché giungere a delle proposizioni certe e univoche sulla sua bontà o sulla sua disumanità. La contrapposizione tra commercial surrogacy e voluntary surrogacy, in realtà, si maschera dietro la credenza secondo cui il pagamento di denaro è sempre mercificazione e asservimento del corpo della donna o dietro la credenza dell'automatismo del dono che rende la surrogacy una buona pratica; tale contrapposizione dev'essere superata per giungere a una diversa visione della maternità surrogata. L'articolo, partendo dal primo dibattito articolato sulla surrogacy ospitato su una rivista americana nel 1988 e analizzando altri studi più recenti, suggerisce di applicare l'epistemologia del contratto relazionale di Macneil e la teoria del diritto policontesturale di Teubner per comprendere meglio la dimensione (del) sociale insita nella pratica della maternità surrogata
What’s love got to do with it?
No full textFrom a more sociological gaze, Guizzardi proposes to read the text through two lenses: Luhmannian theory and Queer. In fact, for Guizzardi, the imprint by which Kottman studies the making-sense of love (how we «make sense» out of love) and love relationships is, on the one hand, markedly Luhmannian (with Niklas Luhmman, Kottman shares the sense of meaning as the possibility of selecting other) and, on the other hand, deeply Queer because of love as a process of individual and collective self-education

Gender, Sex and Sexuality: Education and Socialization Paths. Introduction to the Special Section
Full text link"Dopo dieci anni, due matrimoni, all'estero e qua in Italia, due figli, ce l'abbiamo fatta!". La lunga strada per diventare una famiglia (come le altre)
No full textNella famiglia eterosessuale, si possono avere i ‘fratelli coltelli’, ‘parenti serpenti’, ‘cugini assassini’, la crudele nomenclatura italiana della parentela; si possono prendere in antipatia il marito della sorella o la moglie del cugino; si può disapprovare un matrimonio o, addirittura, disconoscere e diseredare un figlio o un nipote, ma non è possibile mettere in discussione la bontà dell’evento naturale della sua na-scita. Invece, per le famiglie composte da due genitori dello stesso sesso, sembra si possa coniare l’adagio ‘genitori omosessuali, genitori innaturali’. Il problema è nella natura non della persona ma del legame; il problema è nel genere non della persona ma della famiglia. La famiglia omogenitoriale, a differenza di quella eterogenitoriale, offre a chi vi si trova legato per la nascita del figlio, nuove moda-lità di connessione parentale indubbiamente originali e che possono essere giudicate come contra natu-ram. Questa è la sfida che pone la famiglia omogenitoriale: il dono o la vergogna di farne parte. Attra-verso le storie di ventitré famiglie composte da due mamme o da due papà, l’articolo proverà a mostra-re alcune modalità con cui questa sfida viene lanciata e accettata (allora è un dono) o rifiutata (allora è una vergogna)
‘Choosing the gender we feel we are is a profound choice’. Gender identities and sexual orientations among young people
Full text linkThe purpose of this essay is to analyze the different representations of identity linked to sex, gender and sexual orientation in both academic and scientific debate and in the everyday life of young people. In the first part, three representations are discussed: that of coincidence, that of juxtaposition or denial and, finally, that of relative normality. The second part, on the other hand, presents the results of research on how young people aged between 18 and 33 define and forge their own sexual identity, with particular reference to gender and sexual orientation
