PUBLIC LECTURE
November 3 La realta` dello spazio. Lo spazio del cinema neorealista.
As part of the ‘Literature and Comparison’ Research Seminar Series and in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Professor Francesco Pitassio from the University of Udine will deliver a paper called “La realta` dello spazio. Lo spazio del cinema neorealista.” The seminar will take place in the Gateway Building, Hall E at 18:00. Professor Pitassio will study the representation of space in the films of the Italian Neorealismo from various angles: Space/Nation; Space/Realism; Space/Aesthetics; and finally, Space/Myth. Mindful of the theories of André Bazin and Gilles Deleuze, the seminar will discuss the representation of space in such films as La terra trema, Paisà and Ladri di biciclette, among others. Professor Pitassio will deliver the seminar in Italian.
