Paperback. Condition: New. Why have women such as Alice Guy-Blache, the creator of narrative cinema, been written out of film history? Why have so many women working behind the scenes in film been rendered invisible and silent for so long?Silent Women: Pioneers of Cinema explores the incredible contribution of women at the dawn of cinema when, surprisingly, more women were employed across the board in the film industry than they are now. It also looks at how women helped to shape the content, style of acting and development of the movie business in their roles as actors, writers, editors, cinematographers, directors and producers. In addition, we describe how women engaged with and influenced the development of cinema in their roles as audience, critics, fans, reviewers, journalists and the arbiters of morality in films. And finally, we ask when the current discrimination and male domination of the industry will give way to allow more women access to the top jobs.In addition to its historical focus on women working in film during the silent film era, the term silent also refers to the silencing and eradication of the enormous contribution that women have made to the development of the motion picture industry.…

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Barelli L. e Gianandrea M. Roma, 2023; br., pp. 400, ill., cm 12x24. Il volume raccoglie gli atti di un convegno interdisciplinare, svoltosi a Roma nel 2021, che ha riunito alcuni tra i più noti studiosi di Roma medievale. I contributi, a seguito di un ampio confronto, permettono di delineare le caratteristiche delle strade dell'Urbe medievale: una complessa e peculiare trama viaria che connetteva tra loro palazzi, case, un numero eccezionale di chiese, orti e vigne, mescolati alle antiche rovine o sorti direttamente su di esse, in un'intricata compresenza di testimonianze di una gloria passata ma anche di un vivace presente. Di tale trama, grazie all'analisi dei resti materiali e delle fonti, si analizzano e ricostruiscono da un lato la consistenza fisica e di immagine, dai manti stradali ai fronti delle case, fino agli elementi di 'arredo urbano' più o meno progettato, tra cui gli spolia che attiravano curiosità o anche ammirata celebrazione; dall'altro la vita sociale che per le strade si svolgeva, da alcune tra le più significative cerimonie religiose della cristianità fino agli atti della vita quotidiana.
