Gli atti del Convegno Internazionale di Studi “Cinema e identità italiana” (Roma, 28-29 dicembre 2017) mettono in luce la molteplicità delle prospettive con cui può essere affrontato il problema dell’identità nazionale, in un arco temporale che va dai primordi del cinema fino alla contemporaneità. Un gran numero di studiosi di varia età e provenienza si misura con metodologie e punti di vista differenti, intrecciando le dinamiche cinematografiche con la storia culturale del Paese e con il più vasto panorama intermediale.

Cinema e identità italiana

Giancarlo Lombardi

Despite the powerful anti-political impulses that have pervaded Italian society in recent years, Italian cinema has sustained and renewed its longstanding engagement with questions of politics, both in the narrow definition of the term, and in a wider understanding that takes in reflections on public life, imaginary, and national identity. This book explores these political dimensions of contemporary Italian cinema by looking at three complementary strands: the thematics of contemporary political film from a variety of perspectives; the most prominent directors currently engaged in this filone; and case studies of the films that best represent this engagement. Conceived and edited by two Italian film scholars working in radically different academic settings, Italian Political Cinema brings together a wide array of critical positions and research from Italy, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. The tripartite structure and international perspective create a volume that is an accessible entry-point into a subject that continues to attract critical and cultural attention, both inside and outside of academia.
