Italian Science Fiction
This book explores Italian science fiction from 1861, the year of Italy’s unification, to the present day, focusing on how this genre helped shape notions of Otherness and Normalness. In particular, Italian Science Fiction draws upon critical race studies, postcolonial theory, and feminist studies to explore how migration, colonialism, multiculturalism, and racism have been represented in genre film and literature. Topics include the role of science fiction in constructing a national identity; the representation and self-representation of “alien” immigrants in Italy; the creation of internal “Others,” such as southerners and Roma; the intersections of gender and race discrimination; and Italian science fiction’s transnational dialogue with foreign science fiction. This book reveals that though it is arguably a minor genre in Italy, science fiction offers an innovative interpretive angle for rethinking Italian history and imagining future change in Italian society.
Contemporary Italian Narrative and 1970s Terrorism
This book is about literary representations of the both left- and right-wing Italian terrorism of the 1970s by contemporary Italian authors. In offering detailed analyses of the many contemporary novels that have terrorism in either their foreground or background, it offers a “take” on postmodern narrative practices that is alternative to and more positive than the highly critical assessment of Italian postmodernism that has characterized some sectors of current Italian literary criticism. It explores how contemporary Italian writers have developed narrative strategies that enable them to represent the fraught experience of Italian terrorism in the 1970s. In its conclusions, the book suggests that to meet the challenge of representation posed by terrorism fiction rather than fact is the writer’s best friend and most effective tool.
The Ancient World in Alternative History and Counterfactual Fictions
Focusing in turn on history, powerful individuals, under-represented voices and the arts, the essays in this collection cover a wide variety of modern and contemporary narrative fiction from Jo Walton and L. Sprague De Camp to T. S. Chaudhry and Catherynne M. Valente. Chapters look into the question of chance versus determinism in the unfolding of historical events, the role individuals play in shaping a society or occasion, and the way art and literature symbolise important messages in counterfactual histories. They also show how uchronic narratives can take advantage of modern literary techniques to reveal new and relevant aspects of the past, giving voices to marginalised minorities and s...

Ufo Italia
Nel 2021 il Pentagono ha finalmente ammesso che gli UFO costituiscono una realtà, sono caratterizzati da tecnologia avanzata, sono sotto controllo intelligente e se ne ignora l’origine. Tutto ciò comporta una radicale inversione di tendenza nello studio di un fenomeno senza tempo, manifestatosi anche nel passato e in tutto il mondo. E valorizza di colpo l’apporto di seri studiosi che per anni sono stati sottostimati dall’approccio riduttivo e scettico delle istituzioni. Fra questi Roberto Pinotti e Alfredo Lissoni dell’italiano Centro Ufologico Nazionale (CUN) che porta oggi la questione degli UFO alle Nazioni Unite. Il CUN, già nel 2000, aveva reso noti importanti documenti indic...
