One notable effect is a preponderance of interstitial landscapes such as abandoned fields, polluted riverbanks, and makeshift urban gardens. Landscapes in Between analyses authors and filmmakers – Italo Calvino, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Gianni Celati, Simona Vinci, and the duo Daniele Ciprì and Franco Maresco – who turn to these spaces as productive models for coming to terms with the modified natural environment.Considering the ways in which sixty years’ worth of Italian literary and cinematic representations engage in the ongoing dialogue between nature and culture, Monica Seger contributes to the transnational expansion of environmental humanities. Her book also introduces an ecocritical framework to Italian studies in English. Rejecting a stark dichotomy between human construction and unspoilt nature, Landscapes in Between will be of interest to all those studying the fraught relationship between humanity and environment.Toronto Italian studies.Italian literature20th centuryHistory and criticismItalian literature21st centuryHistory and criticismMotion picturesItalyHistoryLandscapes in literatureLandscapes in motion picturesEcology in literatureEcology in motion picturesElectronic books.Italian literatureHistory and criticism.Italian literatureHistory and criticism.Motion picturesHistory.Landscapes in literature.Landscapes in motion pictures.Ecology in literature.Ecology in motion pictures.850.9/36Seger Monica1980-919293MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459799603321Landscapes in between2061797UNINA
