Vi sono molte strade per l'Italia. Ricercatori e fotografi americani nel Mezzogiorno degli anni Cinquanta
Francesco Faeta is a visual anthropologist who works extensively on the Italian South, exploring the reciprocal play between the anthropologist/photographer and the human subject. In this book he recounts the ethnographic journeys to the Mezzogiorno of two American researchers and a photographer between 1949 and 1957. Their little-known stories raise important questions that reverberate across such diverse fields as anthropology, visual and cultu…
Amarcord /Am'l'arcord. Fascism, Memory, and the Visual in Federico Fellini and Renzo Renzi
This essay reflects on questions of visibility and invisibility in the representation of Fascism through a study of the visual memory of Fascism in Amarcord and the photo-essay “Il Fascismo involontario,” which Renzo Renzi, Bolognese critic and longtime friend of Fellini, wrote in 1975 in direct response to the film. After retracing the roots of Amarcord to Fellini's collaboration with Renzi, the essay maps their contrasting stances toward memory…

In Reality Hunger David Shields (Reality Hunger: A Manifesto. New York: Knopf, 2010) describes a consuming yearning in contemporary culture, as attested by the commercial success of reality shows a
Icons of remorse
This essay explores the 1950s as a space of cultural transition through two bodies of iconic images: Tazio Secchiaroli’s 1958 reportage of Aiché Nanà’s striptease and Franco Pinna’s documentation of the rituals of mourning during his work in Salento with anthropologist Ernesto de Martino. Produced on the eve of the miracolo economico , these images are iconic condensations of the contrasting cultural horizons defining the national imaginary of 19…
Stillness in Motion
Stillness in Motion brings together the writing of scholars, theorists, and artists on the uneasy relationship between Italian culture and photography. Highlighting the depth and complexity of the Italian contribution to the technology and practice of photography, this collection offers essays, interviews, and theoretical reflections at the intersection of comparative, visual, and cultural studies. Its chapters, illustrated with more than 130 bla…
Landscape and Memory in Post-Fascist Italian Film
This study argues that neorealism’s visual genius is inseparable from its almost invisible relation to the Fascist past: a connection inscribed in cinematic landscapes. While largely a silent narrative, neorealism’s complex visual processing of two decades of Fascism remains the greatest cultural production in the service of memorialization and comprehension for a nation that had neither a Nuremberg nor a formal process of reconciliation. Through…
Svevo, Blogging and the Future of Literature
Svevo, Blogging and the Future of Literature Giuliana Minghelli (bio) The ethos of writing, and the status of the writer and that unruly object known as literature, preoccupied Italo Svevo throughout his career. From the beginning, Svevo wrote about writing.1 Be it salvation or ruination, writing is the crucial experience in the life of his characters. Novel writing, shared dreaming, diary keeping, literary criticism, or fable-telling contests, t…
In the Shadow of the Mammoth
In the Shadow of the Mammoth
Giuliana Minghelli uses Italo Svevo's parodic Darwinian fable of the prehistoric encounter between the weak and 'unfinished' man and an incommensurable other to reassess his eccentric contribution to 20th century literature.

Ricordando il quotidiano. Lessico famigliare o l'arte del cantastorie
In the Shadow of the Mammoth
Freed from the stifling tutela of the psychoanalyst in the last pages of the novel, Zeno becomes more and more solitary, wandering along the metaphysical banks of the Isonzo river until the war separates him permanently from all the ties, obligations and social expectations that had wrapped him in their dense web. The book, which began with Zeno's solitary exercise of remembrance, returns in the end to the intimacy of raccoglimento. In between, t…
