In this article a few key moments of postwar Italian cinema are mapped and analyzed in order to define resonances, influences, and other entanglements with the body, lived experience, and thought of Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci. This Gramscian cinematic geography is understood as a construct established through the connection with Gramsci’s own disabled physical and intellectual space and proposed as a possible method for an engaged reading of cinematic texts. Building on recent works on Gramsci’s own disabled body, and forms of localized knowledge, this article focuses on the suffering body as a form of resistance to injustice and marginalization, as well as on his intellectual localization, his geo-, and body-politics of knowing on the island of Sardinia
