Book excerpt: As Charlton Heston put it: ‘There’s a temptingly simple definition of the epic film: it’s the easiest kind of picture to make badly.’ This book goes beyond that definition to show how the film epic has taken up one of the most ancient art-forms and propelled it into the modern world, covered in twentieth-century ambitions, anxieties, hopes and fantasies. This survey of historical epic films dealing with periods up to the end of the Dark Ages looks at epic form and discusses the films by historical period, showing how the cinema reworks history for the changing needs of its audience, much as the ancient mythographers did. The form’s main aim has always been to entertain, and Derek Elley reminds us of the glee with which many epic films have worn their label, and of the sheer fun of the genre. He shows the many levels on which these films can work, from the most popular to the specialist, each providing a considerable source of enjoyment. For instance, spectacle, the genre’s most characteristic trademark, is merely the cinema’s own transformation of the literary epic’s taste for the grandiose. Dramatically it can serve many purposes: as a resolution of personal tensions (the chariot race in Ben-Hur), of monotheism vs idolatry (Solomon and Sheba), or of the triumph of a religious code (The Ten Commandments). Although to many people Epic equals Hollywood, throughout the book Elley stresses debt to the Italian epics, which often explored areas of history with which Hollywood could never have found sympathy. Originally published 1984.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Texts about paintings, painters and sculptors are obvious test cases for issues of representation. A significant corpus of artist stories is scattered through Honore de Balzac's Comedie humaine which, from Marx to Lukacs to Roland Barthes's enormously influential S/Z (1970), has been a key literary work for critical debates around French realism. In a series of close readings, Diana Knight explores Barthes's 'model of painting' - the metaphorical code of painting and sculpture that underpins realist discourse - in the context of Balzac's fictional representations of the relation between artists, their models and their works of art. Whereas critics have tended to denounce Balzac's realist aesthetic as complicit with the misogyny of the society he portrays,Balzac and the Model of Painting takes the artist-model relationship, variously gendered in these stories, as the focus of the author's powerful realist critique of the sexual politics of prostitution and marriage in nineteenth-century France."

Book excerpt: Dedicato alla madre e rivolto alle giovani donne, nella speranza che il Risorgimento politico fosse anche un risorgimento femminile, è lo scritto La donna e i suoi rapporti sociali, pubblicato nel 1864. Convinta repubblicana, non esita a rimproverare a Mazzini e ai suoi seguaci l'idea conservatrice che il posto della donna stia soltanto nella famiglia: «non dite più che la donna è fatta per la famiglia, che nella famiglia è il suo regno e il suo impero! Le son queste vacue declamazioni come mille altre di simil genere! Ella esiste nella famiglia, nella città, in faccia ai pesi e ai doveri; di questi all'infuori, ella non esiste in nessun luogo». Il presente eBook ricalca e rinforza i temi già sviluppati in La Donna e i suoi Rapporti Sociali.

Un territorio, un paese, una famiglia, isolati tra le montagne della Sila Grande, vivono oppressi dalla tirannia di un violento Barone che vuole sottomettere i fratelli Ferruccio e Pietro. Il Barone rifi utato, attenta alla vita del fi glio di Ferruccio, Nicola di 2 anni e, a distanza di tempo, dopo una strage, adotta con prepotenza Carmen di 4 anni, nipote acquisita di Pietro, rimasta orfana. L'astuto Pietro, detto Zione, si schiera con l'arrogante Barone. Obbedisce, sopporta, gli sta vicino aspettando il momento propizio per eliminarlo. Passano gli anni. Ferruccio ritorna dalla Campagna di Russia con un piede congelato, Nicola, fi danzato con Carmen, viene minacciato di morte e non può sposare la giovane incinta. Fugge a Miami dove chiede aiuto ad un potente boss. Il tiranno dopo altri scempi, delitti e violenze, viene ucciso da Pietro. Carmen ha il bambino e con Nicola ritornato, partono per la Florida dove apriranno un ristorante "italian kitchen". Non dimenticheranno mai la Sila Grande, le clementine, la faggeta, la "viddanedda", la "'nduja", le fontane, la processione di Santa Caterina. Ricorderanno la Calabria per sempre, "with love". Romanzo ispirato ad una storia vera.

This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positioning itself at the intersection of Italian film history, horror studies and cultural studies, this fascinating book asks why, and how, was the protean, transnational and transmedial figure of the vampire appropriated by Italian cinema practitioners between 1956 and 1975? The book outlines both the 1945-85 industrial context of Italian cinema and the political, economic and sociocultural context of the Italian Republic, from post-war reconstruction to the austerity of the mid-1970s. Using case studies of films by directors such as Mario Bava and Riccardo Freda, it also delves into lesser-known gems of Italian psychotronic cinema from the 1960s and 1970s, like L'amante del vampiro (The Vampire and the Ballerina) and Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel Trecento . . . (The Reincarnation of Isabel). With original research into hitherto unpublished film production data, censorship data, original screenplays, trade papers, film magazines and vampire-themed paraliterature, the book strongly argues for the cultural legitimacy of Italian film genres like horror, adventure, comedy and erotica, whose study has so far been neglected in favour of the Italian auteur cinema of the 1940s neorealists and their later followers.
