This paper focuses on the representation of Karima El Mahroug, alias Ruby Rubacuori (‘Ruby Heartstealer’), in the online editions of three Italian newspapers (Il Giornale, Repubblica, Corriere della Sera). Karima/Ruby, a young woman originally from Morocco, was placed in the media spotlight for her implication in a sexual scandal involving the ex-Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi. The analysis shows a dichotomy in the representation of the young woman: as an ‘at risk girl’ or as a ‘post-feminist sex worker’. Karima’s national and religious origins contribute to the construction of her as a vulnerable, voiceless and fragile girl, made so by a traditional and sexist culture of origin. However, as the trial proceeds, a different construction of Karima, now fully identified with the name Ruby, emerges: an agentic, determined and assertive post-feminist sex worker who knowingly employed her sexual desirability for her own personal gains. As part of this evolution, Ruby sheds her ‘otherness’, becoming not only symbolic of Italian younger generations, but of the moral degeneration of the whole country. The narrative parabola Karima/Ruby that is engendered in the newspapers sees the incorporation of the Muslim woman in post-feminist culture, as well as her naturalisation as Italian, as long as she subscribes to its specifically neoliberal gender relations. This article explores the inclusions and exclusions of post-feminist culture, by investigating the normative discourses employed to make sense of Muslim femininity.

意大利在线报纸上的二分法Karima / Ruby：后女权主义文化中穆斯林女性气质的排除和包含

本文着重介绍了Karima El Mahroug（别名Ruby Rubacuori（“ Ruby Heartstealer”））在三份意大利报纸（Il Giornale，Repubblica，Corriere della Sera）的在线版本中的代表。Karima / Ruby是一名来自摩洛哥的年轻女性，因牵连意大利前总理西尔维奥·贝卢斯科尼（Silvio Berlusconi）的性丑闻而受到媒体关注。分析表明，在年轻女性的形象上存在二分法：作为“高风险女孩”还是“后女权性工作者”。卡里玛（Karima）的民族和宗教血统，使她成为一个脆弱，无声且脆弱的女孩，这是由传统和性别歧视的血统文化造成的。但是，随着审判的进行，出现了Karima的另一种结构，现在已经完全用Ruby来标识：代理，坚定而果断的女权主义后性工作者，故意为自己的个人利益而利用性欲。作为这种演变的一部分，露比（Ruby）摆脱了“其他”，不仅象征着意大利年轻一代，而且象征着整个国家的道德堕落。报纸上出现的叙事抛物线画Karima / Ruby看到，穆斯林妇女融入了后女权主义文化，并且她归化为意大利语，只要她坚决支持新自由主义的性别关系。本文通过调查用于理解穆斯林女性气质的规范性话语，探讨了后女性主义文化的包含与排除。露比（Ruby）摆脱了她的“其他”，不仅象征着意大利年轻一代，而且象征着整个国家的道德堕落。报纸上出现的叙事抛物线画Karima / Ruby看到，穆斯林妇女融入了后女权主义文化，并且她归化为意大利语，只要她坚决支持新自由主义的性别关系。本文通过调查用于理解穆斯林女性气质的规范性话语，探讨了后女性主义文化的包含与排除。露比（Ruby）摆脱了她的“其他”，不仅象征着意大利年轻一代，而且象征着整个国家的道德堕落。报纸上出现的叙事抛物线画Karima / Ruby看到，穆斯林妇女融入了后女权主义文化，并且她归化为意大利语，只要她坚决支持新自由主义的性别关系。本文通过调查用于理解穆斯林女性气质的规范性话语，探讨了后女性主义文化的包含与排除。只要她订阅了专门针对新自由主义的性别关系。本文通过调查用于理解穆斯林女性气质的规范性话语，探讨了后女性主义文化的包含与排除。只要她订阅了专门针对新自由主义的性别关系。本文通过调查用于理解穆斯林女性气质的规范性话语，探讨了后女性主义文化的包含与排除。
