This book recounts the author's 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 city's 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.
