This volume explores the Italian contribution to the current global
phenomenon of a "return to reality" by examining the country's rich
cultural production in literature and cinema. The focus is
particularly on works from the period spanning the Nineties to the
present day which offer alternatives to notions of reality as
manufactured by the collusion between the neo-liberal state and the
media. The book also discusses Italy's relationship with its own
cultural past by investigating how Italian authors deal with the
return of the specter of Neorealism as it haunts the modern
artistic imagination in this new epoch of crisis. Furthermore, the
volume engages in dialogue with previous works of criticism on
contemporary Italian realism, while going beyond them in devoting
equal attention to cinema and literature. The resulting
interactions will aid the reader in understanding how the critical
arts respond to the triumph of hyperrealism in the current era of
the virtual spectacle as they seek new ways to promote cognitive
transformations and foster ethical interventions.
