In \u003cem\u003eFellini’s Films and Commercials: From Postwar to Postmodern\u003c\/em\u003e, renowned Fellini scholar Frank Burke presents a film-by-film analysis of the famed director’s cinematic output from a theoretical perspective. The book explores Fellini’s movement from relatively classic filmmaking to modernist reflexivity and then to ‘postmodern reproduction’. Burke moves from analysis of stories told from a relatively ‘objective’ standpoint, to increased concentration on Fellini-as-author and on the cinematic apparatus, to Fellini’s dismantling of authorship and cinematic apparatus, to his postmodern signifying strategies. Grounded in poststructuralist approaches to texts and signification, Burke shows that Fellini is profoundly readable, if extremely complex.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRevisiting Burke’s 1996 \u003cem\u003eFellini’s Films: From Postwar to Postmodern\u003c\/em\u003e, this new edition includes revised material from the original, plus a new preface and new chapter on the filmmaker’s work on commercials.

The author never leaves the reader unprepared for the next analysis, as he delivers important background information for context. What is most appreciated is Burke’s approach to his study as a whole. He supplies a meticulously detailed map in Fellini studies and equips readers with abundant knowledge to navigate through each film. However, he never forecloses readers’ own supplementary connections. Indeed, the monographic structure of the study directly encourages such engagement. The sharp and ever detailed analysis, which is at the study’s core, not only honours Fellini’s genius through his complexity, but it also inspires readers to appreciate and learn more about the beloved Italian director. Burke’s revised edition of his 1996 publication will continue to benefit scholars in future studies of the great Federico Fellini and his work.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Giovanna Caterina Lisena, Journal of Italian Cinema \u0026amp; Media Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Burke’s book documents the enormous cultural impact that Fellini had in the second half of the 20th century and finally gives Fellini the visibility that he deserved, showing the cultural and geographical range of the director’s influence. The volume is a wonderful tool for both scholars of Fellini, specialists of cinema studies, students and film buffs who approach Fellini’s films for the first time. Any reader will be able to enter and be guided through Fellini’s very complex and fascinating cinematic universe. The work offers a valuable and interesting approach to one of the most famous Italian directors, and is the ideal vehicle, for celebrating Fellini’s centennial anniversary birth.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Flavia Brizio-Skov, Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'With an entire mountain range of books and other texts on the Italian auteur, Fellini’s Films and Commercials represents a pinnacle in English-language Fellini scholarship. [...] The new chapter on Fellini’s work in the television commercial idiom allows Burke to bring the narrative of his comprehensive analysis to a satisfyingly open-ended conclusion. [...] Apart from its other many virtues as a comprehensive guide, Burke’s latest book will undoubtedly do to any reader what it did to me: send them back to Fellini’s incomparable body of work.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Russell Kilbourn, Italica | American Association of Teachers of Italian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface and Acknowledgements to the 2020 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface and Acknowledgements to the 1996 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter One:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fellini in Context\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Two:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individuation Denied: \u003cem\u003eVariety Light \u003c\/em\u003eto \u003cem\u003eIl Bidone\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Three:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individuation and 'Creative Negation': \u003cem\u003eNights of Cabiria \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eLa Dolce Vita\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Four:\u003c\/strong\u003e Film about Film and Modernist Self-Reflexivity: \u003cem\u003eThe Temptation of Dr. Antonio\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Five:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e8½, Juliet of the Spirits,\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eToby Dammit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Six: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Individual in Crisis from \u003cem\u003e8½ \u003c\/em\u003eto \u003cem\u003eFellini- Satyricon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Seven:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Individuation of Art versus Character: \u003cem\u003eFellini-Satyricon \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eThe Clowns\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Eight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Art and Individuality Dissolved: \u003cem\u003eRoma, Amarcord,\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOrchestra Rehearsal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Nine: \u003c\/strong\u003ePostmodern Reproduction: \u003cem\u003eFellini’s Casanova\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eIntervista \u003c\/em\u003e(and \u003cem\u003eLa Dolce Vita\u003c\/em\u003e Revisited)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Ten:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Voice of the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Eleven:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fellini's Commercials\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Twelve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Politics, Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intellect Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042574270807,"sku":"9781789382204","price":71.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789382204.jpg?v=1750954698","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fellini-s-films-and-commercials-from-postwar-to-postmodern-9781789382204","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
