Elvira Dones’s novel Vergine giurata and its eponymous cinematic adaptation (directed by Laura Bispuri) imagine in diverging ways the material and symbolic disruptions that occur when this tribally sanctioned figure leaves Albania for another nation. Novel and film suggest to different degrees how this distinctive transgender figure challenges binary regimes of heteronormativity and the power-knowledge systems underpinning them, revealing contrasting investments in the possibilities of the sworn virgin's integration into the respective migratory settings.","PeriodicalId":42720,"journal":{"name":"Italianist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44616329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, it focuses on the presence of Esso oil company branding, frequently featured in Italian films from the 1950s and 1960s that centre depictions of feminised labour, including but not limited to the sale of sex. The juxtaposition between Esso branding and the visual representations of working women’s stories on screen emphasises the discrepancy between the thriving financial success of global industry and the struggles of working-class Italian women, for whom the promises of the economic boom proved elusive. Yet the juxtaposition also demonstrates the substantial economic role played by women, upon whom Italian society is dependent as a form of both fiscal and cultural capital.","PeriodicalId":42720,"journal":{"name":"Italianist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44301788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Editorial","authors":"Danielle E. Hipkins, Elena Past, M. Seger","doi":"10.1080/02614340.2022.2156247","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02614340.2022.2156247","url":null,"abstract":"As we send this issue off to press we note that the circumstances which made the previous Film Issue, along with publishing at large and of course life in general, so very particular, have not entirely disappeared. The COVID pandemic is still with us and certain parts of our social and work lives still unfold via virtual formats, while other experiences have brought us back face to face. As we gathered again this past summer for conferences, symposia and the collective viewing of outdoor cinema, we wondered which habits formed during these pandemic years might remain and, as scholars of media, how they may have permanently transformed production, viewing, and distribution practices. The idea of transformative practice – academic, social, artistic – is a current that runs through many of the pieces in this issue. The opening dossier, by Simone Brioni, Caterina Romeo, Rachel Johnson, and Linde Luijnenburg, builds in exciting ways on last year’s Film Issue focus topic, collaboration. The four articles describe, frame, and contextualise the making of a translingual, transcultural documentary film titled Maka. The film, a hybrid of academic scholarship and creative filmmaking, is partially a reflection on Italian Cameroonian writer and scholar Geneviéve Makaping’s life, and partially a theoretical reflection inspired by her book Traiettorie di sguardi: E se gli altri foste voi? (2001). It was conceived by Brioni in conversation with Makaping, and then created with a collaborative team that included director Elia Moutamid and producers Graziano Chiscuzzu and Ermanno Guida. The four articles published here, which are described in greater detail in the abstract that opens the section, include an analysis of Traiettorie di sguardi (Romeo), an account of the theoretical and productive origins of the documentary (Brioni), a look at the philosophies that guided its production (Johnson), and a piece situating the work of director Moutamid (Luijnenburg). The dossier itself, whose creation saw the four authors in dialogue, becomes another piece of the collaborative puzzle that seeks to find structures and voices for an anti-racist, decolonial Italian studies. Like other recent work published in The Italianist Film Issue on collaborative scholarship and editorial work, videographic criticism, and environmental criticism, this section suggests the urgency – but also the creativity and good faith – with which scholars are seeking new audiences, new formats, and new analytical tools adequate to address critically important issues in contemporary Italy. The issue also features a rich set of open theme articles. Wide-ranging in topic, they can be linked by intersecting explorations of corporality, gender, (trans)national cultures and boundaries. Lora Jury examines the depiction of women as both economic and cultural capital in films of the economic boom period.
