Delighted to be speaking during my visiting at the University of Tokyo, Department of Italian Studies.
Tomorrow, I will discuss Pasolini's "Teorema" from a systemic functional perspective, focusing on how the gaze constructs meaning and reshapes relations.

i'm pleased to share my recent article, co-authored with M.C. Nisco and M. Quadraro. By revisiting the intellectual tradition of the Neapolitan School and its contribution to English language studies, we reflect on the role of Cultural Studies in ELT, foregrounding language as a signifying practice.
On 30 January 2026 I'll be speaking at "Nobody’s Perfect: LGBTQ+ Characters Talking on Screen" at Sapienza University.
I'll be talking about queer voices, prosody, and audiovisual translation, and how visibility moves across languages and screens.
