The places of memory

Index of names

In 1972 a young brunette gives published an important essay, Intellectuals, cinema and propaganda between the wars , who launched one of the promises of the new Italian film history. More than three decades after Brunetta, in the meantime the Italian film history has taken the almost pontifical, returns with this Italian intellectuals and film in his tracks, reworking and expanding throughout the network of relationships between cinema, especially Italian, and several generations of intellectuals who have approached. The specificity of
Brunetta, as a scholar and as a historian, is to always consider the movie phenomenon as the result of pressures from multiple forces of society. Not only an artistic phenomenon, but also social, economic, political and cultural. Needless to say, from this perspective, the more unusual than you might think, the film can re-emerge in every corner of Italian society. Including, of course, the intellectual component.
But certainly we should not expect a simple mapping from the Paduan scholar of intellectuals in some way related to the movies, but a survey based on the plurality of looks and how you experience the relationship between cinema and actors (including background) of the Italian culture.
materials viewed through the endless sharpness of the scholar emerge unpublished reports, dynamic and unthinkable. If in the production of
Brunetta this paper may be considered minor, a work in progress, there are also the crucial steps that have the merit to shed new light on research methods and routes of writing the author. What is missing is, however, a bibliography, whose heavy absence is offset by an appendix where you map the most funds and archives prestigious Italian intellectuals: the aspiring researcher can not accept that.
