Afterword: A Genre Across Cultures. 330 $aThis book explores Italian science fiction from 1861, the year of Italy?s unification, to the present day, focusing on how this genre helped shape notions of Otherness and Normalness. In particular, Italian Science Fiction draws upon critical race studies, postcolonial theory, and feminist studies to explore how migration, colonialism, multiculturalism, and racism have been represented in genre film and literature. Topics include the role of science fiction in constructing a national identity; the representation and self-representation of ?alien? immigrants in Italy; the creation of internal ?Others,? such as southerners and Roma; the intersections of gender and race discrimination; and Italian science fiction?s transnational dialogue with foreign science fiction. This book reveals that though it is arguably a minor genre in Italy, science fiction offers an innovative interpretive angle for rethinking Italian history and imagining future change in Italian society. 410 0$aStudies in Global Science Fiction,$x2569-8834 606 $aLiterature 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aFiction 606 $aEthnology$xEurope 606 $aCulture 606 $aMotion picture plays, European 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aEuropean Culture 606 $aEuropean Film and TV 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aEthnology$xEurope. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMotion picture plays, European. 615 14$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Culture. 615 24$aEuropean Film and TV. 676 $a853.9109352042 676 $a853.0876209 700 $aBrioni$b Simone$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01225260 702 $aComberiati$b Daniele$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484931303321 996 $aItalian Science Fiction$92844888 997 $aUNINA
