CFP: Passato e presente nel cinema italiano: storia e società sul grande schermo:
scadenza: 15 ottobre 2019/deadline: October 15, 2019


Come la parola scritta è fondamentale per scambiare storie e idee, così il grande schermo può offrire il suo contributo alla narrazione del nostro presente nonché del nostro passato. Da Kracauer a Sorlin, da Sklar a Rosenstone e a Ferro, il cinema da sempre suscita negli studiosi notevoli riflessioni sul suo rapporto con la società e con la storia, questo perché il cinema spesso partecipa all’interpretazione collettiva della realtà sociale e politica attraverso un suo peculiare punto di vista, quello dell’immagine come strumento di mediazione tra eventi e pubblico. In particolare, dal Novecento ad oggi, il cinema italiano ci ha offerto una varietà di prospettive sulla storia e sulla società italiane non solo nei film dell’era fascista e in quelli neorealisti e pasoliniani delle borgate romane, ma anche in quelli politico-civili che trattano la realtà multiculturale odierna con le problematiche inerenti l'immigrazione, oppure che riflettono su questioni di genere. Roberto Faenza, Marco Tullio Giordana, Paolo Sorrentino, Luca Guadagnino, Roberta Torre, Alice Rohrwacher, solo per nominarne alcuni, sono esempi di registi che hanno trattato temi d’attualità tenendo vivo il dibattito sulla rappresentazione della realtà attraverso le immagini e sull’interpretazione storica.

La storia, si sa, non solo ci aiuta a decifrare il passato, interpretandolo, ma ci aiuta a capire il presente, ovvero da dove veniamo e dove stiamo andando. Allora dobbiamo chiederci in che modo il cinema italiano ci ha raccontato e continua a raccontarci la storia e la società italiane; quali esempi di connubio tra cinema e storia o cinema e società sono particolarmente rilevanti, ma non hanno avuto un riscontro importante da parte del pubblico; quali film, invece, hanno riscosso successo, e perché. Queste alcune delle domande a cui vorremmo dare una risposta. Da qui nasce il progetto di un volume collettaneo di saggi in italiano che affrontino criticamente temi, registi e film legati al rapporto tra cinema italiano e società/storia.

Le proposte di capitolo in italiano dovranno essere inviate elettronicamente (in formato Word) alle e-mail delle curatrici sotto riportate entro il 15 ottobre 2019 e dovranno indicare: il titolo del capitolo, il nome dell’autore con la sua affiliazione e una breve biografia (100 parole), un abstract di 500 parole corredato di una breve bibliografia critica. Gli autori saranno informati entro il 31 dicembre 2019 sull'esito delle loro proposte. I contributi dovranno essere lavori originali, non pubblicati altrove, e saranno sottoposti a un processo di “peer review”.

 

Le curatrici,

Chiara De Santi, Ph.D. ([log in to unmask])

ENGLISH VERSION

In the same way that the written word is fundamental for the exchange of stories and ideas, the silver screen can offer its contribution to the narrative of both our present and our past. From Kracauer to Sorlin, from Sklar to Rosenstone and Ferro, cinema has always fostered important scholarly and academic reflections on its relationship with society and history, particularly because cinema often participates in the collective interpretation of the social and political reality through a peculiar point of view, namely the image as a mediator between events and audience. In particular, from the 1900s to the present, the Italian cinema has offered us a variety of perspectives on Italian history and society, not only in the films of the fascist era, Neorealism, and Pasolini’s depictions of the Roman borgate, but also in the political and civic films dealing with the present multicultural reality via issues related to immigration or gender. Roberto Faenza, Marco Tullio Giordana, Paolo Sorrentino, Luca Guadagnino, Roberta Torre, Alice Rohrwacher, to name a few, are examples of filmmakers that have dealt with themes of reality, keeping alive the debate over the representation of reality through moving images and over historical interpretation in general.

            As we know, history not only helps us to decipher the past, interpreting it, but it also helps us to understand the present, namely where we come from and where we are going. This is why we should ask ourselves how the Italian cinema has told us and continues to tell us about Italian history and society; which examples of the bond between cinema and history or cinema and society are particularly relevant, though they have not received public acclaim; which films, instead, have received public acclaim, and why. These are some of the questions we would like to give an answer to. This vision guides our project of editing a volume of contributions in Italian that deal critically with themes, filmmakers, and films highlighting the relationship between Italian cinema and society/history.

 

The proposals for individual chapters in Italian should be sent electronically (in Word format) to the editors’ e-mail by October 15, 2019, and they should include: the title of the chapter, the name of the author with his/her affiliation and a short bio (100 words), and a 500-word abstract with a short critical bibliography. The authors will be informed by December 31, 2019, of the outcome of their proposals. The contributions must be original, not previously published, and they will be subject to a process of peer-review.

 

The editors,
