Resisting the Tide

Release Date: 2011-12-22
Edited by members of the Department of Italian Studies at the University of Birmingham, and bringing together academics in Britain, Ireland, the US and Italy, this volume takes an international perspective on Italian events. It investigates how resistance to the new conservative culture has been articulated, and how this has been expressed and explained by those involved. The volume is divided into four areas: 1. The Economic and Media Landscapes, which sets the scene for the rest of the book by explaining how Italian society, and particularly its media environment, have developed in recent years; 2. Political Challenges, which discusses the main threats to the authority and policies of Berlusconi coming from within his own centre-right coalition, the left and social movements; 3. Texts, which analyses films, internet sites, television programmes, novels, newspaper articles and theatre performances that sought to resist increasingly dominant conservative norms and/or respond to events set in motion by the Berlusconi governments; 4.Experiences, covering the voices and practices of those who have opposed Berlusconi from within the cultural industries and identity movements, such as journalists, LGBT activists, feminists and associations representing immigrant communities. Wide-ranging, innovative and challenging, this volume should appeal to all those who have an interest in Italy, political-, media- and cultural studies.
Voicing the Word
Drawing on the recent renewal of interest in the debate on orality and literacy this book investigates the varying perceptions and representations of orality in contemporary Italian fiction, providing a fresh perspective on this rich and fast-developing debate and on the study of the Italian literary language. The book brings together a number of complementary approaches to orality from the fields of linguistics, literary and media studies and offers a detailed analysis of a broad variety of authors and texts that appeared over the last three decades - ranging from internationally acclaimed writers such as Celati, Duranti and Tabucchi, through De Luca and Baricco, to the latest generation of writers, such as Campo, Ballestra and Nove. By exploring the complementary facets of Italian orality, and its diachronical developments since the seventies, this study questions the traditionally dichotomic approach to the study of orality and literacy and posits a more flexible, cross-modal approach that accounts for the increasing hybridisation of text forms and media and for the greater interaction between the spoken and the written as well as their representations.
Vincenzo Consolo: gli anni de «l’Unità» (1992-2012), ovvero la poetica della colpa-espiazione

Vincenzo Consolo: gli anni de «l’Unità» (1992-2012), ovvero la poetica della colpa-espiazione analizza l’assidua collaborazione di Vincenzo Consolo (1933-2012) con il quotidiano «l’Unità», una collaborazione che, iniziata nei primi anni Novanta e durata fino alla morte, rivela una forma di protagonismo politico a cui lo scrittore si era in precedenza sottratto. In questo stesso arco di tempo, Consolo si trasforma nei suoi scritti letterari da «contastorie consolatorio» a narratore benjaminiano, e offre alle giovani generazioni un modello di vita progressista basato sulle proprie esperienze giovanili. Tale sviluppo artistico necessita a sua volta di una trasformazione del punto di vista narrativo e spiega l’adozione del pronome di prima persona, quell’«impudico io», come lui stesso lo definisce. Questa forma di sperimentalismo letterario, che si differenzia dal lavoro svolto nei decenni precedenti, permette allo scrittore di espiare la colpa di non avere, negli anni Settanta ed Ottanta, fatto di più per ovviare al degrado sociale, ambientale e politico che aveva visto dilagare.
