“…I fascicoli sono due, entrambi precedenti: il primo è degli anni 1586-1594; gli imputati per magia sono nove: sette uomini (Giovan Battista Attenasio, Marco Antonio Avogadro, Ettore Cangiano, Giovan Vincenzo Carbone, Andrea Coccia, Cesare Manso, Cirillo Riccio) e due donne (Antonia Lombarda e Faustina Vulcana). 2 Il secondo processo è degli anni 1586-1588; gli imputati per magia sono otto: due uomini (Francesco Acquarese, Giovan Battista Caracciolo) e sei donne (Argenta Amorosa, Beatrice Castiglione, Grandizia de Criscienzo, Ippolita Palomba, 3 Silvia Telesa, Faustina Vulcana). 4 Rileviamo che non sono poche le persone coinvolte nei due processi, uomini e donne, ma nessuna che abbia preso i voti; colpisce un cognome di notevole rilievo, come Caracciolo, e solo Faustina Vulcana è presente in entrambi i procedimenti.…”

Riassunto: Il focus è puntato sui monasteri femminili all’inizio del secolo XVII. Una monaca del convento napoletano della Maddalena è sottoposta a un processo per magia varia nel Tribunale del Santo Ufficio di Napoli, in seguito alla denuncia della badessa e delle monache del monastero. Una suora benedettina veneziana, chiusa nel monastero di Sant’Anna, trova nella scrittura la sua forma di rivalsa. La suora napoletana che aveva acquisito un suo spazio nella storia minuta, attraverso la pratica della magia, una sorta di potere, di rivalsa sulla sua emarginazione, finisce nuovamente ai margini della società per la condanna della pratica di cui è accusata. Diversamente la monaca veneziana, attraverso le sue opere, acquista una notorietà tale da avere un suo spazio nella storia del pensiero monacale femminile. Entrambe le vicende, comunque, si inquadrano nei giochi di potere contemporanei: potere sulle due protagoniste, potere politico, potere religioso, scontri interni alla chiesa, agli ordini di chierici, ai singoli monasteri; scontri che coinvolgono le alte sfere e non solo loro. Parole chiave: emarginazione, donne, suore, magia, scritturaAbstract: The focus is on women’s monasteries at the beginning of the 17th century. A nun of the Neapolitan monastery of La Maddalena is subjected to a trial by various magic in the Tribunal of the Holy Office of Naples, following the denunciation of the abbess and the nuns of the monastery. A Venetian Benedictine nun, closed in the monastery of Sant’Anna, finds her form of revenge in writing. The Neapolitan nun who had acquired her own space in minute history, through the practice of magic, a sort of power, of revenge on her marginalization, ends up once again on the margins of society due to the condemnation of the practice she is accused of. On the other hand, the Venetian nun, through her works, acquires a notoriety such as to have her own space in the history of female monastic thought. Both events, however, are part of contemporary power games: power over the two protagonists, political power, religious power, clashes within the church, the orders of clerics, individual monasteries; clashes involving the upper echelons and not only them.Keywords: marginalization, women, nuns, magic, writing

Introduction: Weight stigma, a psychological-related health issue associated with obesity or weight problems, is one of the major concerns within public health. Indeed, weight stigma may cause health and behavioral problems, such as a lack of motivation to exercise. Assessing weight stigma is thus essential. Both the Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire (WSSQ) and the Perceived Weight Stigma Scale (PWSS) are valid and reliable instruments that have been used in several countries. However, WSSQ and PWSS have never been used in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to translate and validate both WSSQ and PWSS in Indonesian for Indonesian young adults. Methods: Via an online survey with convenience sampling, Indonesian college students (n = 438) completed the Indonesian WSSQ, PWSS, and depression anxiety stress scale-21 (DASS-21), and provided their height and weight. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Rasch analysis, internal consistency, and concurrent validity were used for data analysis. Results: The internal consistency was satisfactory for the WSSQ (α = 0.90 and ω = 0.93). One PWSS item did not fit well and was removed. The revised 9-item PWSS had satisfactory internal consistency (α = 0.82 and ω = 0.87). The CFA and Rasch results supported a two-factor structure for the WSSQ, and a one-factor structure for the PWSS. WSSQ and PWSS were significantly and positively correlated (r = 0.32; P < 0.001). Both WSSQ and PWSS were significantly and positively associated with the DASS-21 score (r = 0.18 to r = 0.48; all P < 0.001); WSSQ was significantly and positively associated with body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.17 to r = 0.50; all P < 0.01). Conclusion: The translated Indonesian versions of WSSQ and PWSS can be used as instruments to assess weight stigma in Indonesian young adults.
