CineRoman Holiday?

As I wrote in a previous post, I spent most of June in Italy, taking the cinepanettone on a visit home. In this post I’ll talk about CineRoma, the three-week Notre Dame University seminar at the Villa Mirafiori, La Sapienza, 11-28 June, co-organized by Zyg Baranski (ND), Robert Gordon (Cambridge) and myself. I discuss here the seminar as a whole and the session I gave on popular cinema. In the next post I’ll discuss my keynote paper at the conference ‘Echi Oltremare. The Other Inside and Out: Italy and the Mediterranean’ (Rome, 14-16 June).

About


This is my research blog for the project 'Holiday Pictures: Ritual, Genre, and Italian National Cinema' on the series of films released in Italy every December and colloquially referred to as 'cinepanettoni' (‘film-Christmas-cakes’). I am posting images, notes on the films, on secondary reading and on my methodology, reports on interviews, etc. The blog was intended as a public notebook for the short book in Italian I've written on the 'filone' (sub-genre), Fenomenologia del cinepanettone (Rubbettino, 2013).

Luca Peretti (Yale University) is working with me as my research assistant on the project.

The project is supported by the AHRC (UK) and the University of Leeds.
