Forum: Teoria in viaggio. bell hooks e noi a cura di Elisabetta Serafini

Traveling theory. bell hooks and us This Forum is devoted to bell hooks, the pseudonym of Gloria Jean Watkins, African-american theorist and feminist activist. The aim behind the preparation of the Forum was to seek to activate and disseminate bell hooks’ ideas in our society and in our classrooms so that they can serve as a guide towards realizing a transformative pedagogy through feminism. Discussing the possibilities of re-signifying hooks’ theories are six scholars and teachers: Lea Melandri, Livia Apa, Renata Pepicelli, Angelica Pesarini, Sara Rossetti and Rahma Nur. The authors “converse” with hooks and with each other while weaving a web of concepts that reveal the concrete intersectionality of her thought. keywords: bell hooks; feminism; intersectionality; theory as liberatory practice; teaching to transgress; transformative education; engaged pedagogy
