Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Anna Maria Chierici e Fulvio Orsitto. Milano, 2023; br., pp. 192, cm 15x22. (Colloquium). Il mondo sempre più interconnesso, multiculturale e multidimensionale che ci circonda impone a studiosi e lettori interessati ad approfondire tale complessità una riflessione profonda sulla mutevolezza delle forme identitarie. Queste ultime oggi più che mai anziché manifestarsi nella forma di un blend fra vari aspetti, valori e caratteristiche, danno vita a una sorta di mosaico. Il presente volume vuole essere un invito ad interrogarsi su come ampliare il concetto di identità, invitando chi legge a concepirla anche come un'entità ever-changing. Nel riannodare fra loro i fili di diverse discipline, al lettore viene offerta un'immagine musiva che non può che essere 'composita' e atta non tanto a riprodurre quanto a suggerire la complessità degli attuali processi identitari. I 12 capitoli che compongono Composite Identities sono per la maggior parte l'elaborazione in forma di saggio accademico delle presentazioni più stimolanti proposte al convegno virtuale omonimo organizzato nel 2020 dai due curatori. A questo nucleo fondante sono stati aggiunti due contributi redatti ad hoc per questo progetto al fine di proporre un approccio ancor più variegato. Libro.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book examines how Italian Americans have been represented in cinema, from the depiction of Italian migration in New Orleans in the 1890s (Vendetta) to the transition from first- to second-generation immigrants (Ask the Dust), and from the establishment of the stereotype of the Italian American gangster (Little Caesar, Scarface) to its re-definition (Mean Streets), along with a peculiar depiction of Italian American masculinity (Marty, Raging Bull). For many years, Italian migration studies in the United States have commented on the way cinema contributed to the creation of an identifiable Italian American identity. More recently, scholars have recognized the existence of a more nuanced plurality of Italian American identities that reflects social and historical elements, class backgrounds, and the relationship with other ethnic minorities. The second part of the book challenges the most common stereotypes of Italian Americanness: food (BigNight) and Mafia, deconstructing the criminal tropes that have contributed to shaping the perception of Italian-American mafiosi in The Funeral, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, and the first two chapters of the Godfather trilogy. At the crossroads of the fields of Italian Culture, Italian American Culture, Film Studies, and Migration Studies, Italian Americans in Film is written not only for undergraduate and graduate students but also for scholars who teach courses on Italian American Cinema and Visual Culture. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Italian Americans in Film and Other Media examines the representation of the Italian immigrant experience from D.W. Griffith's Biograph Italian Dramas (1908-1913) to the present day. Building on the editors' previous volume Italian Americans in Film, this collection broadens their scope to address marginalized aspects of Italian Americanness, including the work of women directors and depictions of same-sex relationships. The book consists of three parts. Part I, 'The Immigrant Experience', focuses on feature films and is divided into two sections: 'Silent Films' (which analyses some of Griffith's early films and Barker's The Italian, 1915), and 'Revising Gender Perspectives', which includes chapters focusing on single films - such as Dmytryk's Christ in Concrete (1949), De Michiel's Tarantella (1995), and Bonifacio's Amexicano (2007) - and survey essays that discuss the Italian American 'celluloid closet' and some of Savoca's films. Part II, 'Italian Americans in Other Media', offers a wide range of essays informed by different approaches that investigate the immigrant experience in terms of transmediality and transnationality. The types of media examined in this section include television and graphic novels as well as puppetry, Instagram, and Internet memes. Part III contains interviews with Italian American scholars, movie directors, and performers. Together, the contributions to this collection demonstrate the vitality, mutation, and persistence of Italian Americanness in visual media.…
