Focussing on his term as Prime Minister from 2001-06, this
scholarly volume provides the first assessment of how the
neo-conservative values attributed to Berlusconi were contested and
resisted by a variety of groups. The continuing influence of the
controversial figure of Silvio Berlusconi on contemporary Italian
life, culture and politics is beyond question. Focussing on his
term as Prime Minister, this volume assesses how the
neo-conservative values attributed to Berlusconi were contested and
resisted by social/minority movements, intellectuals (radical and
moderate) and media practitioners. Edited by members of the Centre
for European Languages and Cultures at the University of
Birmingham, and bringing together academics in Britain, Ireland,
the US and Italy, it has an international perspective. Analysis
investigates how resistance to the new conservative culture has
been articulated, and how this has been expressed and explained by
those involved. This interdisciplinary volume is divided into three
(overlapping) areas: contemporary Italian politics (including the
evolution of left and right, unions vs government; the G8 in Genoa
and the anti-war movement); cultural texts (including films and
documentaries, television programmes, novels and theatre; and
experiences (the voices and practices of those who have opposed
neo-conservative values from within the cultural industries and
identity movements). Wide-ranging, innovative and challenging, this
volume should appeal to all those who have an interest in Italy, in
politics, in culture and cultural studies.
