It provides novel analytical categories for an intriguing corpus of films and offers careful accounts of works and genres as diverse as \u003ci\u003eLa meglio gioventú\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBuongiorno, notte\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003epoliziottesco\u003c\/i\u003e (cop film) and the \u003ci\u003ecommedia all’italiana\u003c\/i\u003e. The author argues that fiction film can provide an effective frame for the elaboration of historical experience but that the cinema is symptomatic both of its time and of the codes of the medium itself – in terms of its elisions, omissions and evasions as well as its emphases. The book is a study of a body of films that has elaborated the experience of terrorism as a fascinating and even essential part of the heritage of modern Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: \u003ci\u003eTragedia all’italiana\u003c\/i\u003e – Italian Terrorisms\/Italian Film – Locations of Moro: The Kidnap in the Cinema – Filming \u003ci\u003eStragismo\u003c\/i\u003e – Patriarchy Postponed – Sexing the Terror – Constituencies of Memory – \u003ci\u003ePatrimonio all’italiana.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Verlag Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043738059095,"sku":"9783039115747","price":39.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783039115747.jpg?v=1750959294","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/tragedia-all-italiana-italian-cinema-and-italian-terrorisms-1970-2010-9783039115747","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
