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. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aQueer Studies 606 $aEthnology 615 0$aGender Studies. 615 0$aQueer Studies. 615 0$aEthnology. 676 $a306.7680945731 700 $aMauriello$b Marzia$0752580 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910506402903321 996 $aAn anthropology of gender variance and trans experience in Naples$92569573 997 $aUNINA
