This feminist anthology from Italy offers an enriching perspective on cinema studies. Focusing on women’s engagement with political theory and film-making, the book never loses sight of the female experience of cinema. It examines how women have chosen to represent themselves and how they have been represented, and how they deal with the cinematic apparatus, as subjects of production, objects of representation, and spectators. A variety of approaches are offered, ranging from psychoanalysis and semiology to history. With an exhaustive filmography, this anthology of chapters by eminent theorists demonstrates the central importance of recent developments in Italy for the whole spectrum of film and feminist studies.

Streetwalking on a Ruined Map

An object of this critical remapping is Elvira Notari (1875-1946), Italy's first and most prolific woman filmmaker, whose documentary-style work on street life in Naples, a forerunner of neorealism, was popularly acclaimed in Italy and the United States until its suppression during the Fascist regime.

Wandering Women

Wandering Women: Urban Ecologies of Italian Feminist Filmmaking explores the work of contemporary Italian women directors from feminist and ecological perspectives. Mostly relegated to the margins of the cultural scene, and concerned with women's marginality, the compelling films Wandering Women sheds light on tell stories of displacement and liminality that unfold through the act of walking in the city. The unusual emptiness of the cities that the nomadic female protagonists traverse highlights the absence of, and their wish for, life-sustaining communities. Laura Di Bianco contends that women's urban filmmaking—while articulating a claim for belonging and asserting cinematic and social agency—brings into view landscapes of the Anthropocene, where urban decay and the erasure of nature intersect with human alienation. Though a minor cinema, it is also a powerful movement of resistance against the dominant male narratives about the world we inhabit. Based on interviews with directors, Wandering Women deepens the understanding of contemporary Italian cinema while enriching the field of feminist ecocritical literature.

Inappropriabili

  • Categories: Art

Inappropriabili sono le esperienze di chi, negli anni sessanta e settanta del Novecento, trovò nella performance il territorio di sperimentazioni capaci di abbattere i confini disciplinari, di integrare nell’estetica e nella politica il piacere, la materialità della creazione, l’irruenza della critica all’esistente. In questo libro si affollano così biografie, eventi e idee, azioni e opere che ricostruiscono una storia di relazioni: l’Autunno caldo, l’antipsichiatria e la militanza poetica di Giuliano Scabia, la guerra d’Algeria nel teatro musicale di Luigi Nono, le ecopolitiche di John Cage micologo e di Aldo Braibanti mirmecologo, le persecuzioni, i processi, le carcerazioni...

Anni di rivolta

Nel luglio del 1970 viene affisso sui muri di Roma e Milano il “Manifesto di Rivolta femminile” che convenzionalmente segna la nascita del movimento femminista italiano. A oltre cinquant’anni da allora, nuove forme di attivismo a livello globale stanno contribuendo a ridefinire genealogie, alleanze e pratiche politiche, e a interrogare con quesiti nuovi la storia dei femminismi. Le ricerche presentate nel volume – basate sul caso italiano – ricostruiscono percorsi ed eventi di un lungo ventennio femminista, gli anni Settanta e Ottanta, mettendo al centro esperienze finora considerate liminali o periferiche. L’analisi e l’incrocio di fonti eterogenee compone un originale sguardo d’insieme che, raccogliendo l’eredità dei precedenti studi, apre nuove piste di ricerca e offre al tempo stesso spunti preziosi per comprendere il presente.
