Description

In this third anthology from Ascolta Women, the writers explore, deconstruct, and destabilise the tropes and stereotypes imposed on women and their activities traditionally associated with the night: witchcraft, prostitution, mysticism, healing, and death. The anthology challenges the concepts of night and darkness as things to fear and where women are vulnerable and powerless. Through prose, poetry, photos, and artwork the rigid and oppressive binaries of women as virgin/whore; good/bad; witch/healer; hysteric/compliant are brought into stark relief and instead more complex, rich, nuanced, and authentic lived experiences are proffered. Drawing on their multiple and diverse Italian and Italian Australian heritages, the authors delve into folklore, family stories, critical research, and fantasy to bring narratives into, and out of, the imaginarium of the dark. In the process we come to understand how light and dark have been pitted against each other as opposing forces of good and evil, safety and danger. Instead, motherly female deities representing night and Black Madonnas of antiquity are reclaimed and celebrated as powerful figures of life, love and nurturing they were historically revered for. Mothers, aunts, and grandmothers are recalled for their power to both remove il malocchio, the evil eye, and sooth troubled brows. Women's sexuality is regained as integral to identity instead of commodified for external consumption and objectification. Humour is used to crack the rigidity of death rituals. Throughout this anthology the night is reclaimed as a place of regeneration, mystery, veneration, protection, and care. A place for women.
