Women and Migration in Contemporary Italian Cinema: Screening
Hospitality puts gender at the centre of cinematic representations
of contemporary transnational Italian identities. It offers an
intersectional feminist analysis of the ways in which transnational
migration has been represented, understood, and constructed in the
contemporary cinema of Italy. Drawing on Jacques Derrida's notion
of hospitality and in dialogue with postcolonial and decolonial
theory, queer studies, and feminist critiques, the six chapters of
the book focus on a series of exemplary fiction films from the last
twenty years, which both reflect and shape the nation's responses
to the growing presence of transnational migrants in Italian
society. The book shows how questions of gender, sexual difference,
and reproductivity have been central to Italian filmmakers'
approaches to stories of mobility and displacement. Gender is also
enmeshed in the rhetoric and poetic of hospitality that filmmakers
propose as a critical framework to condemn Italian border policies
and politics. Women and Migration in Contemporary Italian Cinema:
Screening Hospitality traces an arc that moves from the embrace of
a humanitarian rhetoric of infinite hospitality toward migrants,
apparent in films produced in the early 2000s, to a more fluid
understanding of Italian identities from a transnational
perspective.
