SUMMARY:History and Auto/Biography: The Language of the Self and Contemporary Italian Cinema
DESCRIPTION:
 Marcia Landy\n
 	University of Pittsburgh\n
 	History 
 and Auto/Biography: The Language of the Self 
 and Contemporary Italian Cinema\n
 	Wednesday, 
 Nov. 8 \n
 \n
 \n
 	Philosophy, aesthetics and 
 post-realist media productions have unseated 
 conventional politics, blurring boundaries between 
 biography and autobiography, fiction and 
 documentation, the self and the Other. Select 
 contemporary Italian cinematic texts,\n
 \n
 	identified 
 with auto/biographical subjects of 
 the Italian cultural and geopolitical landscape, 
 rely on figural uses of self. Changing positions 
 of the subject interweave with the author/viewer 
 in Nanni Moretti's Il caimano, Liliana 
 Cavani's Interno berlinese,\n
 \n
 	and Antonio 
 Capuano's Pianese Nunzio. Different forms 
 of address speak to self and Other invoking 
 history and memory through literature, painting, 
 architecture and crossbreed with generic 
 and experimental forms including melodrama, 
 horror, comic grotesque, and documentary to 
 become counter-history.\n
