Paradigms of Postcoloniality in Contemporary Italy

Lombardi-Diop, Cristina; Romeo, Caterina

Pages: 1 –29

[In a seminal essay that emphasizes the “dubious spatiality” and “problematic temporality” of the term “postcolonial,” Ella Shohat asks, “When exactly, then, does the ‘post-colonial’ begin?” (103). This question is particularly relevant for Italy, as the beginning of the decolonization process...

The Italian Postcolonial

Young, Robert J. C.

Pages: 31 –34

[It was 2005 and I had gone to Italy to give a lecture at the Università di Milano Bicocca, an amazing example of the university as a manifestation of contemporary modernism rising in the ruined heartlands of industrial northern Italy, of knowledge as the new industrial commodity of the West, and...

The New European Migratory Regime and the Shifting Patterns of Contemporary Racism

Mezzadra, Sandro

Pages: 37 –50

[Let us remember the slogan—quoted above—adopted by Alleanza Nazionale (National Alliance), the political successor of the neofascist Movimento Sociale Italiano (Italian Social Movement) during the election campaign of Spring 2006. To say that this slogan contained a grain of truth—like any...

The Postcolonial Turn in Italian Studies

Ponzanesi, Sandra

Pages: 51 –69

[To date, Italy’s imperial enterprises have received little attention in comparative colonial studies. As Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Mia Fuller write, it was not until recently that Italian colonialism was accounted for in Italian national history. This positions historical studies on Italian colonialism...

The Emigrant Post-“Colonia” in Contemporary Immigrant Italy

Fiore, Teresa

Pages: 71 –82

[The opening verses of the emigration song “Merica Merica” illustrate the condition of deprivation that Italian emigrants to Brazil found themselves in after a long voyage across the Atlantic. Composed in the nineteenth century in Venetan3 dialect, this popular song depicts the struggles of...

De-Provincializing Italy

Mellino, Miguel

Pages: 83 –99

[Writing on Italy and postcolonialism from whatever starting point of view or perspective necessarily entails a very simple and obvious—though not always fully conscious—enunciation: Italy is a postcolonial country like, for example, England, France, Algeria, and Argentina. This implicit or...

Hidden Faces, Hidden Histories

Triulzi, Alessandro

Pages: 103 –113

[Postcolonial Italy is characterized today by contrasting voices coming from different corners of society. For the first time since the end of the short-lived African Empire (1936–41), a number of Italian writers are using the colonial setting in their work as a way to explore new literary genres...

Shooting the Colonial Past in Contemporary Italian Cinema

Duncan, Derek

Pages: 115 –124

[The presence of migrants in Italy since the late 1980s has been commonly seen as a key factor in prompting some kind of revival of interest in the nation’s own colonial past, an aspect of the country’s history that had largely been placed under erasure. Although Italy’s colonial project predated...

Italians DOC?

Spackman, Barbara

Pages: 125 –138

[The protagonist of Amara Lakhous’s 2010 novel Divorzio all’islamica a Viale Marconi is a “Christian,” in both religion and proper name: a Sicilian who studied classical Arabic at the University of Palermo, and who, in 2005, is recruited by SISMI (Service for Military Information and Security) as...

Pier Paolo Pasolini in Eritrea

Trento, Giovanna

Pages: 139 –155

[The life and works of writer and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922–75) are dotted with references to Africa, Africans, and their diaspora, starting from 1958 until his death in 1975. His constructions and representations of Africa and Africans were multifaceted and had numerous intellectual,...
