Italian Cinema : Gender and Genre Hardback
by M. Gunsberg
Hardback
Description
Maggie Günsberg examines popular genre cinema in Italy during the 1950s and 1960s, focussing on melodrama, commedia all'italiana , peplum, horror and the spaghetti western.
These genres are explored from a gender standpoint which takes into account the historical and socio-economic context of cinematic production and consumption.
An interdisciplinary feminist approach informed by current film theory and other perspectives (psychoanalytic, materialist, deconstructive), leads to the analysis of genre-specific representations of femininity and masculinity as constructed by the formal properties of film.
