This book recounts the authors fieldwork among the trans and gender-variant communities in Naples. This is where a gender-variant figure, the femminiello, has found a safe environment within the citys historical poorest neighborhoods, the so-called "quartieri popolari" which were and continue to be culturally and socially connoted. The femminielli, who can be read as "suspended" figures between the feminine and the masculine, provide the background for a discourse on the meanings that genders and sexualities have assumed in modern Naples. This is done with significant openings to theoretical reasoning that is both extraterritorial and multidisciplinary. Starting from the micro context, the aim of the book is to explore the breadth and complexity of the gender variant and trans experience, with particular reference to the changing meanings of the body, which are also tied to the collective images of beauty in contemporary times. Marzia Mauriello teaches Medical Anthropology at the University Magna Grcia of Catanzaro (Italy) and is the Scientific Secretary of the Study Centre on Food and Nutrition based at the University of Naples-Orientale. She has published extensively on gender and sexuality, gender variance and trans experience, and on the intersections between food and gender.

Les juristes ont débattu depuis longtemps de la possibilité pour chaque individu de disposer librement de son corps et de ses éléments. Sans aller jusqu'à une assimilation du corps à une chose dont d'individu serait propriétaire, l'idée d'autonomie de la personne connaît cependant une progression de plus en plus forte. La reconnaissance juridique de la procréation artificielle, du don d'organes, ou du respect de l'identité sexuelle des individus constituent autant d'évolutions récentes. Mais les complexes relations qu'entretiennent droit et corps laissent encore ouvertes de nombreuses questions telles que la reconnaissance du suicide, la légalisation ou la prohibition de l'euthanasie, l'acceptation des pratiques sadomasochistes, ou même la possibilité de se livrer à la prostitution... Le juriste se trouve ici confronté à des problèmes qui dépassent singulièrement l'élaboration normative, mais qui renvoient également à la morale, à la protection de la santé, et aux conceptions de l'ordre social. Ces différentes exigences ne permettent en effet pas d'utiliser son corps comme moyen pour atteindre n'importe quelle fin. Le colloque organisé à Caen les 16 et 17 octobre 2008, qui a réuni juristes de différentes disciplines, théoriciens du droit, sociologues et philosophes, apporte une contribution aux débats les plus actuels en la matière, tant en ce qui concerne le droit français que le droit de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme.

How homophobic backlash unexpectedly strengthened mobilization for LGBT political rights in post-communist Europe While LGBT activism has increased worldwide, there has been strong backlash against LGBT people in Eastern Europe. Although Russia is the most prominent anti-gay regime in the region, LGBT individuals in other post-communist countries also suffer from discriminatory laws and prejudiced social institutions. Combining an historical overview with interviews and case studies in Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, Conor O’Dwyer analyzes the development and impact of LGBT movements in post-communist Eastern and Central Europe. O’Dwyer argues that backlash against LGBT individuals has had the paradoxical effect of encouraging stronger and more organized activism, significantly impacting the social movement landscape in the region. As these peripheral Eastern and Central European countries vie for inclusion or at least recognition in the increasingly LGBT-friendly European Union, activist groups and organizations have become even more emboldened to push for change. Using fieldwork in five countries and interviews with activists, organizers, and public officials, O’Dwyer explores the intricacies of these LGBT social movements and their structures, functions, and impact. The book provides a unique and engaging exploration of LGBT rights groups in Eastern and Central Europe and their ability to serve as models for future movements attempting to resist backlash. Thorough, theoretically grounded, and empirically sound, Coming Out of Communism is sure to be a significant work in the study of LGBT politics, European politics, and social movements.
