      abstract = {"The idea of the "mamma italiana" is one of the most  widespread and recognizable stereotypes in perceptions of  Italian national character both within and beyond Italy.  This figure makes frequent appearances in jokes and other  forms of popular culture, but it has also been seen as  shaping the lived experience of modern-day Italians of both  sexes, as well as influencing perceptions of Italy in the  wider world. This interdisciplinary collection examines the  invented tradition of mammismo but also contextualizes it  by discussing other, often contrasting, ways in which the  role of mothers, and the mother-son relationship, have been  understood and represented in culture and society over the  last century and a half, both in Italy and in its  diaspora."--},
