and Tensions: Italian Cimema and Media in a Global Context /organized by 
Flavia Laviosa (Wellesley College, USA) and Catherine Ramsey-Portolano

The aim of the conference is to foster a debate on post-national cinema 
with Italy as a unifying geo-cultural site. 160 speakers from prominent 
academic institutions in the Czech Republic, France, Great Britain, 
Italy, Malta, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Argentina, Australia, Canada, New 
Zealand, Porto Rico and United States are all committed to elaborate a 
multifaceted definition of Italian cinema and media   beyond the 
boundaries of their (pen)insularity.


A distinctive feature of the conference is the attention on media. 
Professor Milly Buonanno (Sapienza Università of Rome) will deliver the 
keynote address on Friday 9 June, /Ambigue distanze e incontri 
ravvicinati tra la televisione e il cinema in Italia./


The themes discussed at the conference include: the past and future of 
RAI, Italian and foreign TV series, web series, post-colonial 
intermediality, transmedia, social networks and video games, cinema and 
the electronic arts, Paolo Sorrentino’s cinema, LGBTQ cinema and media, 
transnational identities, international co-productions, the influence of 
Italian cinema on international cinema, cinema and politics, violence 
against women, women’s violence, Anna Magnani, auteur cinema, cinema 
genres, Italian film festivals in the world, cinema and the arts, 
fashion, beauty and celebrities, subtitling and dubbing, cine studios 
and archives.


The conference will also include the screening of /Blaxploitalian 100 
Year of Blackness in the Italian Cinema/ (2016), by the Italian-Ghanaian 
fillmmaker Fred Kuwornu, on Saturday 10 June.

Founded and edited by Flavia Laviosa and published by Intellect, 
/Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies/ is the first leading 
English-language forum for theoretical, methodological and critical 
debate on Italian film and media production, reception and consumption.
