The figure of the child has long been a mainstay of Italian cinema,
conventionally interpreted as a witness of adult shortcomings, a
vessel of innocence, hope and renewal, or an avatar of nostalgia
for the (cinematic) past. New Visions of the Child in Italian
Cinema challenges these settled categories of interpretation and
reconsiders the Italian canon as it relates to the child. The book
draws on a growing body of new work in the history and theory of
children on film and is the first volume to bring together and to
apply some of these new approaches to Italian cinema. Chapters in
the book address aspects of industry and spectatorship and the
varied film psychology of infancy, childhood and adolescence, as
well as genres as diverse as silent cinema, contemporary teen
movies, melodrama and film ethnography. The contributors engage
with a wide range of modes and theories including neorealism,
auteurism and contemporary postfeminism. The book maps out new
roles for gender, the transnational, loss and mourning, and
filmmaking itself, leading to a revised understanding of the child
in Italian cinema.
