Machiavelli in Contemporary Media (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)

There is an undeniable and persisting fascination with Niccolo Machiavelli and his infamous political theories in contemporary pop culture. Many comic books, video games, TV series, movies, and graphic novels make explicit or implicit references to the most infamous political thinker of all-time. By offering the reader an idea of how Machiavelli is present and represented in contemporary media (in particular, in Assassin's Creed, House of Cards, Homeland, pop art, American and Italian politics, Italian cinema, and Trump's rise to power), Machiavelli in Contemporary Media gives new life to Machiavellian thought and shows how his theories-but also the several different interpretations of them (Machiavellianism)-are still influential today. Andrea Polegato is Assistant Professor in Italian Studies at California State University, Fresno, USA. He works on the political language of Niccolo Machiavelli and Florence between the Quattrocento and Cinquecento. His publications include articles on Machiavelli, Pietro Aretino, and the Italian filmmaker Ermanno Olmi. He is also working on a comparison between Renaissance Italy and Ancient China. Fabio Benincasa is Adjunct Professor for Duquesne University - Rome Campus and Universita Nicola Cusano, Italy. As well as several essays on cinema, he co-edited Come rovesciare il mondo ad arte (2015) with Giorgio de Finis and Andrea Facchi, and with de Finis Nome plurale di citta (2016), and Il mondo degli umani si e fermato (2020). He is editor of Frontiere della Psicoanalisi and has collaborated with the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome.
