Noting how art often holds the power to shed light on issues surrounding inequity, inequality, and injustices, the book explores the ethical function of art as a tool in resistance and sociopolitical protest, thereby validating the axiom that ethics and aesthetics can still collaborate in the creation of meaning. Drawing on a range of Italian novels and films and examining the works of artists such as Tiziano Scarpa, Simona Vinci, Paolo Sorrentino, and Monica Stambrini, the author shows that anger can be used constructively as a weapon of resistance against negative and oppressive forces."--Provided by publisherToronto Italian studies.Motion picturesItalyHistory21st centuryItalyfastItalian art.Italian film.Italian literature.Monica Stambrini.Paolo Sorrentino.Simona Vinci.Tiziano Scarpa.anger.indignation.literary criticism.modern Italian cinema.passion.resistance literature.Motion picturesHistory853/.9209353Lucamante Stefania, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut167233DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910815176203321Righteous Anger in Contemporary Italian Literary and Cinematic Narratives3974961UNINA
