Ugo Tognazzi, Raimondo Vianello, and Un, due, tre: Establishing Italian Television Audiences, Genres, and Expectations in the 1950s
During the 1950s, comedy actors Ugo Tognazzi and Raimondo Vianello were the famous faces of Italian variety television thanks to their roles as hosts of the popular series Un, due, tre (1954-1959). In addition to proving popular with audiences, the programme played an important role in establishing the nature of variety television in this period, and the expectations of Italian television more broadly, given the regular focus in each episode on t…
Memory, Identity and Migrant Generations: Articulating Italianità in Twentieth- and Twenty-First-Century Northern England through the Case of Kingston upon Hull
Owing to its geographical location and the collapse of its fishing and shipping industries, the UK city of Kingston upon Hull post-WWII rapidly acquired a reputation as a declining outpost of the British nation with no real links to the rest of the world. Yet, historically, Hull has always been a multicultural city that welcomed different migrant communities. Links with Italy, for instance, date back to the 1500s, as the recent ‘Italian Connectio…
City Branding and the Popular Music Star: The Case of Mina, Cremona, and ‘Cremona canta Mina’ (2018)
Mina (born Anna Maria Mazzini, 1940) is arguably the best-loved and most successful female Italian popular music star. More than this, she has become part of Italian everyday life and cultural heritage, and an icon of Italy of which the country can and should be proud. Yet despite being known as ‘la tigre di Cremona’, Mina is not automatically seen as a symbol of the Lombard city where she grew up, but rather of an Italy that is broadly imagined …
French chanson
L'Express in March 2010, in anticipation of that year's Victoires de la musique ceremony, 1 the journalist Gilles Me dioni addresses this question. His answer suggests there is more to chanson than just the broad idea of 'words set to music' that the term can sometimes signify
Scandal, Motherhood and Mina in 1960s Italy
Celebrity scandals are a useful tool to reveal the pervasiveness of expected ways of behaving within a particular culture or society. Italy of the early 1960s was particularly marked by these kinds of scandals, including that of singer Mina’s pregnancy by Corrado Pani in 1963. This article takes this scandal as a case study to explore how star image in this period in Italy was influenced by the established ideologies that governed social conventi…
The stuff of legend: Examining media representations of the Brassens-Brel-Ferré myths
Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel and Léo Ferré are often grouped together and referred to as the archetypal French singer-songwriters, the 'big three' of thechanson françaisefrom the 1950s onwards. Looseley (2003) suggests that they have in fact become national myths as well as entertainers:chanson artists who enshrine a notion of national specificity particular to popular culture. As such, they are constructed within chanson discourse as the embod…
Representations of 1968 in French Popular Music: The Case of Dominique Grange
Focusing on the songs written during 1968–69 presented on the album L'Utopie toujours...(2004) by Dominique Grange, this article discusses some of the representations of key themes of 1968 in song. Grange is a politically engaged singer-songwriter who, whilst enjoying limited commercial success, was very much involved with the 1968 protest movement in Paris and was subsequently linked with various Maoist organisations throughout the 1970s. Her so…
