It offers an intersectional feminist analysis of the ways in which transnational migration has been represented, understood, and constructed in the contemporary cinema of Italy. Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s notion of hospitality and in dialogue with postcolonial and decolonial theory, queer studies, and feminist critiques, the six chapters of the book focus on a series of exemplary fiction films from the last twenty years, which both reflect and shape the nation’s responses to the growing presence of transnational migrants in Italian society. The book shows how questions of gender, sexual difference, and reproductivity have been central to Italian filmmakers’ approaches to stories of mobility and displacement. Gender is also enmeshed in the rhetoric and poetic of hospitality that filmmakers propose as a critical framework to condemn Italian border policies and politics. \u003ci\u003eWomen and Migration in Contemporary Italian Cinema: Screening Hospitality\u003c\/i\u003e traces an arc that moves from the embrace of a humanitarian rhetoric of infinite hospitality toward migrants, apparent in films produced in the early 2000s, to a more fluid understanding of Italian identities from a transnational perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface: Representing Migration in the Time of the Coronavirus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Screening Migrant Hospitality\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two\u003cbr\u003eThe Limits of Hospitality: Marco Tullio Giordana’s \u003ci\u003eQuando sei nato non puoi più nasconderti\u003c\/i\u003e and Ivano De Matteo’s \u003ci\u003eLa bella gente\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three\u003cbr\u003eMaternal Hospitality and Liquid Maternity on Screen\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four\u003cbr\u003eWomen and the City: Female Forms of Hospitality in Marina Spada’s \u003ci\u003eCome l’ombra\u003c\/i\u003e and Giulia Ciniselli and Anna Bernasconi’s \u003ci\u003eVia Padova: Istruzioni per l’uso\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five\u003cbr\u003eGuest Stars: Performing Hospitality in the Italian Film Industry\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: No Longer Guests: G2 Filmmakers and Their Stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBibliography\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFilmography\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50470080119127,"sku":"9781802077216","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781802077216.jpg?v=1744897370","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/women-and-migration-in-contemporary-italian-cinema-screening-hospitality-9781802077216","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
