[Commlist] New book: Media and communication in Italy: historical and theoretical perspectives

In 2014 the Communication and Performing Arts Department at Università 
Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano launched the project of a history of 
media and communication in Italy, from the early twentieth century to 
the present day. Following this idea, three volumes on the history of 
communication and performing arts in Italy have been published: I media 
alla sfida della modernità. 1900-1944, (“The Media and the Challenge of 
Modernity 1900-1944”) (C. Bernardi, E. Mosconi eds., 2018); I media alla 
sfida della democrazia. 1945-1978, (“The Media and the Challenge of 
Democracy 1945-1978”) (F. Colombo, R. Eugeni eds., 2015); I media alla 
sfida della convergenza. 1979-2012 (“The Media and the Challenge of 
Convergence 1979-2012”) (A. Grasso ed., 2017). All three volumes are 
published by Vita e Pensiero.

The present work is an anthology of these three volumes, specifically 
intended for an international readership: it consists of a number of the 
previously published essays, each of which has been revised, extended 
and – where necessary – updated.

The volume not only clearly expresses the idiosyncrasy of the Italian 
national context, but also, more fundamentally, the latter’s connection 
with the history of the media and of theatre and communication in 
general, all from a perspective we consider to be original and conducive 
to further study.

The Volume is open access and can be downloaded at
