This book explores these political dimensions of contemporary Italian cinema by looking at three complementary strands: the thematics of contemporary political film from a variety of perspectives; the most prominent directors currently engaged in this \u003ci\u003efilone\u003c\/i\u003e; and case studies of the films that best represent this engagement. Conceived and edited by two Italian film scholars working in radically different academic settings, \u003ci\u003eItalian Political Cinema \u003c\/i\u003ebrings together a wide array of critical positions and research from Italy, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. The tripartite structure and international perspective create a volume that is an accessible entry-point into a subject that continues to attract critical and cultural attention, both inside and outside of academia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Giancarlo Lombardi\/Christian Uva: Italian Political Cinema: Definitions and Goals – Gaetana Marrone: Italian Political Cinema: The Early Masters – Christian Uva: The New Cinema of Political Engagement – Nicoletta Marini-Maio: Before and After Silvio: A Corpus for Us All – Áine O’Healy: Bound to Care: Gender, Affect, and Immigrant Labour – Anita Angelone: Italian Documentaries and Immigration – Elena Past: Documenting Ecomafia – Mary P.
