In particular, Italian Science Fiction draws upon critical race studies, postcolonial theory, and feminist studies to explore how migration, colonialism, multiculturalism, and racism have been represented in genre film and literature. Topics include the role of science fiction in constructing a national identity; the representation and self-representation of "alien" immigrants in Italy; the creation of internal "Others," such as southerners and Roma; the intersections of gender and race discrimination; and Italian science fiction's transnational dialogue with foreign science fiction. This book reveals that though it is arguably a minor genre in Italy, science fiction offers an innovative interpretive angle for rethinking Italian history and imagining future change in Italian society. 000899138 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on July 31, 2019). 000899138 650_0 $$aScience fiction, Italian$$xHistory and criticism. 000899138 650_0 $$aItalian literature$$xHistory and criticism. 000899138 650_0 $$aMotion pictures, Italian$$xHistory and criticism. 000899138 7001_ $$aComberiati, Daniele,$$d1979-$$eauthor. 000899138 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBrioni, Simone$$tItalian Science Fiction : The Other in Literature and Film$$dCham : Palgrave Macmillan US,c2019$$z9783030193256 000899138 830_0 $$aStudies in global science fiction. 000899138 852__ $$bebk 000899138 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-19326-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000899138 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:899138$$pGLOBAL_SET 000899138 980__ $$aEBOOK 000899138 980__ $$aBIB 000899138 982__ $$aEbook 000899138 983__ $$aOnline 000899138 994__ $$a92$$bISE
