Накратко на български

Италианското кино от 1940-те до 60-те години разглежда как се изгражда образът на младия мъж чрез филмовите герои и разкази. Това помага да се разбере връзката между националната идентичност, потребителското общество и начина, по който публиката се е идентифицирала с тях.

Dangerous Masculinities: Young Men in Italian Cinema of the 1940s-1960s

The present research project aims at investigating ITALIAN CINEMA from the mid-1940s to the early 1960s particularly during the twenty-year period from 1943 to 1963 – in relation to the construction of the image of the young Italian man. The main objective is to understand HOW the cinematic apparatus throughout these two decades gave shape to male national identities that emerged at the same time as the burgeoning youth culture produced by the new Italian consumer society. The present project is intended to interpret young masculinities not only as HISTORICAL SUBJECTS but also in terms of 1) visual representations, 2) discursive formations, 3) modes of spectatorship and 4) audience identifications. In other words, it considers how young masculinity was simultaneously the product of cinematic images, social discourses, spectatorial identities and audience responses. The objectives/results of the project are organised through the following THREE MAIN SECTIONS: A. THE THEORETICAL SECTION. This section is intended to outline the first steps taken during the initial period of the project. B. THE OPERATIVE SECTION. Within this section, the research was carried out according to FOUR MACRO-AREAS of work: 1.B. Young Italian men as cinematic images and narrative products. 2.B. Young Italian men as discourses. 3.B. Young Italian men and modes of spectatorship. 4.B. Young Italian men: audience memories and forms of identification. C. THE FINAL SECTION. This section has been the concluding phase of the project, in which I have summarised the entire spectrum of the milestones rea

Цел на проекта

The present project aims to examine Italian cinema during the twenty-year period from 1943 to 1963 in relation to the construction of the image of the young Italian man. The main goals are to understand how Italian cinema from the post-war period to the ‘economic boom’ gave substance to male national identities and to situate those identities within an emerging youth culture produced by the new consumer society in Italy.The proposal arises from two key observations: firstly, that the cinematic institution of the time and its gender representations depicted the crisis of traditional male authority at a time of great social change. In this respect, the figure of the young Italian man functions as a multi-faceted trope that challenges the patriarchal values embodied by older men. Secondly, that there has been a lack of studies of Italian cinematic masculinity, especially in the postwar period. From this perspective, the project intends to complement existing work in the fields of history and sociology on the emergence of Italian youth culture; it will uncover the repertoire of young masculine identities that cinema offered to audiences in these years, which were crucial to the negotiation of changing gender roles in the Italian cultural imaginary after the WWII until the present. The project is organised according to an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to the cinematic apparatus. The purpose is to look at the cinematic institution by analysing its textual and economic dimension (its ‘material’ component), and thus investigating the patterns of masculine representation offered by films and the related cultural industry; and by evaluating its cultural and social articulation (its ‘symbolic’ component), and thus focusing on the cinema audiences and their experiences with the film texts in relation to gender identity. The principal output will be a monograph on the figure of the young Italian man in the cinema of the long post-war period, the first of its kind.
