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. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aItalian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aItalian literature$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMotion pictures$zItaly$xHistory 606 $aLandscapes in literature 606 $aLandscapes in motion pictures 606 $aEcology in literature 606 $aEcology in motion pictures 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aLandscapes in literature. 615 0$aLandscapes in motion pictures. 615 0$aEcology in literature. 615 0$aEcology in motion pictures. 676 $a850.9/36 700 $aSeger$b Monica$f1980-$0919293 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459799603321 996 $aLandscapes in between$92061797 997 $aUNINA
