Alfred F. Mannella & Rose T. Lauria-Mannella Distinguished Speakers Series: Joan L. Saverino, PhD
Joan Saverino, PhD, will present a lecture entitled "Embroidery as Inscription in the Life of a Calabrian Immigrant Woman". This talk explores the intersection of needlework, personal narrative, gender and artistic creativity in one woman's extraordinary life in two out of the way places (Calabria and Appalachia) over the course of nearly a century. A lively close reading of one Italian woman artist's lived experience and self-representation through her artistic repertoire provides the perfect context to discuss change over time in the social and economic lives of Italian women and the communities in which they lived on both sides of the Atlantic. The talk raises larger concerns surrounding issues of women's role in the (re)production of culture, expands recent research on Italian and Italian immigrant women, and touches on the role of dialogue and reflexivity in the ethnographic process. Saverino is developing her work into a book-length manuscript. She is currently an adjunct professor at Arcadia University in the department of Sociology, Anthropology & Criminal Justice.
