Profile
Emily Antenucci is a scholar of modern and contemporary Italian culture, with a particular interest in feminist thought and its resonances with twentieth-century literature, history, and philosophy. Her research and teaching interests include film and media studies, ecocriticism, theater and performance, and auto/biography studies. Her current book project investigates the work of feminist group Rivolta Femminile and expands on their notions of “perishability” and “unproductivity” as critical categories for historical inquiry, self-making, and social transformation.
