Letteratura, libertà e impegno civile
Il volume prende origine dal tema trattato in occasione del corso di Letteratura italiana intitolato Letteratura, libertà e impegno civile, tenuto da Florinda Nardi nell’anno accademico 2022-2023 presso l’Università degli Studi di Roma “Tor Vergata”, con la volontà di far scoprire agli studenti e alle studentesse l’impegno civile dei letterati e degli intellettuali che vivono, descrivono e denunciano la società del proprio tempo, tra la fine del Settecento e la contemporaneità, attraverso gli strumenti in loro possesso: la poesia, la narrativa, la saggistica e la critica letteraria. La miscellanea raccoglie i saggi di studiosi e studiose che dialogano con grandi autori e autri...

Italian Gothic Horror Films, 1980-1989
The Italian Gothic horror genre underwent many changes in the 1980s, with masters such as Mario Bava and Riccardo Freda dying or retiring and young filmmakers such as Lamberto Bava (Macabro, Demons) and Michele Soavi (The Church) surfacing. Horror films proved commercially successful in the first half of the decade thanks to Dario Argento (both as director and producer) and Lucio Fulci, but the rise of made-for-TV products has resulted in the gradual disappearance of genre products from the big screen. This book examines all the Italian Gothic films of the 1980s. It includes previously unpublished trivia and production data taken from official archive papers, original scripts and interviews with filmmakers, actors and scriptwriters. The entries include a complete cast and crew list, plot summary, production history and analysis. Two appendices list direct-to-video releases and made-for-TV films.
Italian Gothic Horror Films, 1957-1969
The "Gothic" style was a key trend in Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s because of its peculiar, often strikingly original approach to the horror genre. These films portrayed Gothic staples in a stylish and idiosyncratic way, and took a daring approach to the supernatural and to eroticism, with the presence of menacing yet seductive female witches, vampires and ghosts. Thanks to such filmmakers as Mario Bava (Black Sunday), Riccardo Freda (The Horrible Dr. Hichcock), and Antonio Margheriti (Castle of Blood), as well the iconic presence of actress Barbara Steele, Italian Gothic horror went overseas and reached cult status. The book examines the Italian Gothic horror of the period, with an abundance of previously unpublished production information drawn from official papers and original scripts. Entries include a complete cast and crew list, home video releases, plot summary and the author's analysis. Excerpts from interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors are included. The foreword is by film director and scriptwriter Ernesto Gastaldi.
Deviation
The devastating account of one woman's infatuation - and subsequent disillusion - with Nazism, translated into English for the first time Lucie has been brought up by bourgeois parents as a passionate young fascist. At the age of eighteen, she decides to volunteer in the Nazi labour camps in Germany. Intending to disprove what she sees as the lies that are being told about Nazi-Fascism, she instead encounters the horrors of life there - and is changed completely. Shedding her identity, she joins a group of deportees being sent to Dachau concentration camp. She escapes the camp in October 1944 and wanders a Germany devastated by allied bombardments. Translated into English for the first time, Deviation is about the repression of memory, and one woman's attempt to make sense of the hell she has lived through. Luce d'Eramo (1925-2001) was born to Italian parents in Reims, France. Eventually settling in Rome, she earned degrees in Literature and Philosophy and wrote many works of fiction and non-fiction, including the novels Nucleo Zero and Partiranno. Deviation was first published in Italy in 1979 and became an international bestseller.
Italian Gothic Horror Films, 1970-1979
Italian Gothic horror films of the 1970s were influenced by the violent giallo movies and adults-only comics of the era, resulting in a graphic approach to the genre. Stories often featured over-the-top violence and nudity and pushed the limits of what could be shown on the screen. The decade marked the return of specialist directors like Mario Bava, Riccardo Freda and Antonio Margheriti, and the emergence of new talents such as Pupi Avati (The House with the Laughing Windows) and Francesco Barilli (The Perfume of the Lady in Black). The author examines the Italian Gothic horror of the period, providing previously unpublished details and production data taken from official papers, original scripts and interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors. Entries include complete cast and crew lists, plot summaries, production history and analysis. An appendix covers Italian made-for-TV films and mini-series.
