The purpose is to shed light on the cultural construction of the Sardinian character and to reveal the ideology that is behind this process. Hence the volume challenges topics such as the dynamics between verbal and visual imagery, and the intertwining between discourse, images and audience. It addresses the following questions: how was the Sardinian character translated from texts into films? Which strategies were developed to define Sardinian images on screen? For whom were these images intended? Which ideology lies behind the images? Focusing on cultural images within film and literature, this volume is of interest to those working in imagology, comparative, cultural and Italian studies.Studia Imagologica21.Characters and characteristics in motion picturesSardiniansSardinia (Italy)In motion picturesCharacters and characteristics in motion pictures.Sardinians.791.436Bonaria Urban Maria1532507Mereu Salvatore1532508Bianchi Paolo252084MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791098603321Sardinia on screen3778659UNINA
