Beyond the Stereotype: the Obstacle Course of Motherhood in Italy: Chiara Saraceno.-. 330 $aThe idea of the ?mamma italiana? is one of the most widespread and recognizable stereotypes in perceptions of Italian national character both within and beyond Italy. This figure makes frequent appearances in jokes and other forms of popular culture, but it has also been seen as shaping the lived experience of modern-day Italians of both sexes, as well as influencing perceptions of Italy in the wider world. This interdisciplinary collection examines the invented tradition of mammismo but also contextualizes it by discussing other, often contrasting, ways in which the role of mothers, and the mother-son relationship, have been understood and represented in culture and society over the last century and a half, both in Italy and in its diaspora. 410 0$aItalian and Italian American Studies,$x2635-2931 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aMotion pictures?History 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aSociology 606 $aLiterature?Philosophy 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aEuropean Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/832000 606 $aFilm History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413070 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000 606 $aLiterary Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/812000 606 $aCultural Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411130 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aMotion pictures?History. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aLiterature?Philosophy. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aFilm History. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aCultural Theory. 676 $a809.4 702 $aMorris$b Penelope$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWillson$b Perry$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300024503321 996 $aLa Mamma$91967610 997 $aUNINA
