Contents:
Introduction -- Male crisis: between apocalypse and nostalgia -- Contesting national memory: male dilemmas and Oedipal scenarios -- Undoing genre, undoing masculinity -- Pier Paolo Pasolini's erotic imagery and the significance of the male body -- Male subjectivity and the legacy of 1968: Nanni Moretti's Ecce Bombo.
Summary: "Masculinity and Italian Cinema takes the 1970s as an especially instructive period for rethinking the traditional trope of an inadequate male in crisis within Italian cinema. It explores how masculinity functioned in several films of the 1970s as a charged allegory for the many socio-political lacerations of the Italian nation and as a site of conflict and radical interrogation of ideas about gender and sexuality."--Provided by publisher.
