Italian Americans In Film And Other Media The Immigrant Experience From Silent Films To The Internet Age Daniele Fioretti by Daniele Fioretti, Fulvio Orsitto 9783031472107, 3031472101 instant download after payment.

Italian Americans in Film & Other Media examines the representation of the Italian immigrant experience from D.W. Griffith’s Biograph Italian Dramas (1908-1913) to the present day. Building on the editors’ previous volume Italian Americans in Film, this collection broadens their scope to address marginalized aspects of Italian Americanness, including the work of women directors & depictions of same-sex relationships. 

The book consists of three parts. Part I, “The Immigrant Experience”, focuses on feature films & is divided into two sections: “Silent Films” (which analyses some of Griffith’s early films & Barker’s The Italian, 1915), & “Revising Gender Perspectives”, which includes chapters focusing on single films – such as Dmytryk’s Christ in Concrete (1949), De Michiel’s Tarantella (1995), & Bonifacio’s Amexicano (2007) – & survey essays that discuss the Italian American ‘celluloid closet’ & some of Savoca’s films. Part II, “Italian Americans in Other Media”, offers a wide range of essays informed by different approaches that investigate the immigrant experience in terms of transmediality & transnationality. 

The types of media examined in this section include television & graphic novels as well as puppetry, Instagram, & Internet memes. Part III contains interviews with Italian American scholars, movie directors, & performers. Together, the contributions to this collection demonstrate the vitality, mutation, & persistence of Italian Americanness in visual media.
