Comedy Basque Style: A Recontextualization of Commedia all'ItalianaAdams, Zackary Michael 01 January 2019 (has links)
Commedia all'italiana, a genre of Italian film satires that emerged in the late 1950s and sustained through the late 1970s, is primarily understood through its close relationship to Italian culture. The evolution of the genre appears to be less tied to the revision of iconography and narrative codes of previous films than it is to the trajectory of Italian society during its years of prominence. The following thesis will attempt to find a definition of commedia all'italiana that is discrete from the genre's strong link to Italian culture by isolating the films' common narrative strategies. The aim in constructing this definition, which will be called the "commedia all'italiana narrative methodology," is to negotiate the possibility of formal elaboration upon the genre by a modern filmmaker, even outside of the strictly Italian context of the films in question. The viability of this endeavor will be put to the test in the final chapter, a plot outline for a feature film, entitled Commedia Vasca, that emulates the narrative approaches assembled in the commedia all'italiana narrative methodology.
This thesis begins by presenting the common understanding of commedia all'italiana, with a particular focus on the genre's close connection to Italian society. The second chapter tracks the formation of the commedia all'italiana narrative methodology by isolating and analyzing distinct and adaptable narrative strategies at play among the films of commedia all'italiana. Then the thesis changes course to set up the creative experiment in narrative adaptation, Commedia Vasca, which will engage with Basque culture, rather than Italian. The plot outline for the film is preceded by a short summary of relevant Basque history and the ways the cultural specificities of the Basque Country influenced the process of utilizing and adapting the commedia all'italiana narrative methodology.

A representação dos estereótipos dos italianos em Os eternos desconhecidos / The representation of italian stereotypes in Big deal on Madonna StreetStucchi, Fernanda 13 November 2018 (has links)
Nesta dissertação, foi analisada a maneira como os estereótipos dos italianos são representados no roteiro de Os eternos desconhecidos, considerado este filme inaugural da commedia allitaliana. Para tanto, inicia-se com uma introdução sobre a commedia dellarte e a importância que teve posteriormente na cultura cômica italiana, principalmente na commedia allitaliana. Em seguida, apresenta-se o percurso do cinema italiano, partindo das comédias chamadas telefoni bianchi, passando pelo neorrealismo e chegando à commedia allitaliana. O período neorrealista do cinema italiano iniciou no imediato pós-guerra (1945), tendo seu período de produção mais importante entre 1945 e 1948. Paralelamente, desenvolveu-se a commedia allitaliana que, com características próprias, dava continuidade aos temas neorrealistas. As mudanças bruscas ocorridas relativamente em curto espaço de tempo, entre o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial (1945) e a retomada econômica da Itália (décadas de 50 e 60), repercutiram em uma mudança comportamental dos italianos, resultando em um novo modelo identitário. Assim, a commedia allitaliana apresenta os retratos/estereótipos do novo italiano. Neste trabalho foram analisados dez personagens de Os eternos desconhecidos que, colocados em confronto entre si, refletem as mudanças sociais e de mentalidade dos italianos nesse momento inicial do boom econômico. / In this dissertation, an analysis was made of how the stereotypes of the Italians are represented in the script of Big deal on Madonna Street, which was considered the inaugural film of the commedia all\'italiana. Therefore, it begins with an introduction about the commedia dellarte and the importance it had on the Italian comedy culture later on, mainly on the commedia all\'italiana. Next, the course of the Italian cinema is presented, starting from the comedies telefoni bianchi, passing through the neorealism and arriving at the commedia all\'italiana. The neorealist period of the Italian cinema began immediately at the post-war (1945), having its most important production period between 1945 and 1948. At the same time, it was developed the commedia all\'italiana which, with its own characteristics, gave continuity to neorealist themes. The abrupt changes that took place, in a relatively short time, between the end of the World War II (1945) and Italy\'s economic recovery (in the fifties and sixties), had repercussions in the behavioural change of the Italians, which resulted into a new model of identity. Thus, the commedia all\'italiana presents the portraits / stereotypes of the new Italian. In this work, ten characters of Big deal on Madonna Street were analysed, which, once placed against each other, reflect the social changes and the mindset of the Italians during this economic boom.

O gênero cinematográfico commedia all\'italiana: uma proposta de estudo / The film genre commedia allitaliana: a proposal for studyAugusto, Celina Vivian Lima 27 March 2014 (has links)
O presente trabalho é uma reflexão acerca do gênero cômico cinematográfico denominado commedia all\'italiana. Para essa pesquisa, primeiramente, acompanhamos a evolução do cinema cômico italiano desde seus primórdios até o fenômeno estudado. Na formação do cinema cômico, aludimos não só à importância da contribuição da vertente teatral - através da commedia dell\'arte - como também dos atores cômicos do primeiro cinema, do período conhecido como telefoni bianchi, de figuras como Totò, Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia e Mario Mattoli, além da fase denominada neorrealismo rosa. Desse modo, através do percurso anterior à commedia all\'italiana, procuramos estabelecer sua inserção na tradição cômica da Itália. Também foram considerados aspectos importantes do contexto históricosocial à época do surgimento e consolidação desse gênero cômico popular do cinema italiano. Procuramos resgatar as origens e fontes da commedia all\'italiana, focalizando as diferentes fases que a compuseram e as principais filmografias que a evidenciaram. Ainda nesse momento, traçamos seus percursos e suas particularidades, percorremos a trajetória de seu surgimento e focalizamos algumas de suas características intrínsecas. Trouxemos a discussão de três momentos emblemáticos na história do gênero ao trabalharmos com três obras fílmicas significativas de diretores e fases diversas, apresentando alguns dos aspectos presentes na commedia all\'italiana e ressaltando questões que se mostraram pertinentes na construção de um senso crítico nas obras desse gênero / This dissertation explores the comic genre in Italian cinema known as commedia allitaliana. First, we accompanied the evolution of Italian comic cinema from its beginnings up to the phenomenon studied. In the formation of comic cinema, we alluded not only to the importance of the contribution of theatre - through the commedia dellarte - but also to the first silent comic actors in cinema from the period known as telefoni bianchi, including such figures as Totò, Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia and Mario Mattoli. We also traced the influence of the phase known as pink neorealism. In this way, through an analysis of comic genres before commedia allitaliana we aimed to insert it in the entire Italian comic tradition. We also considered the important historical and social contexts of the era in which this popular comic genre arose and consolidated itself. We attempted to rescue the origins and sources of commedia all\'italiana, focusing on the different phases that composed it and its principal films. We charted its emergence, traced its development and peculiarities and stressed some of its intrinsic characteristics. We highlighted three emblematic moments in the history of the genre through an analysis of three significant films from diverse phases and directors, showing some of the main aspects present in commedia all\'italiana and emphasizing the pertinent questions for a critical approach to works in the genre

Wandering Through Intellectual Ashes : National Identity and the Southern Question in Postwar Marxist Italian Film. A Postcolonial Visual OntologyVeglia, Matilde January 2022 (has links)
This thesis is crafted as an explorative theoretical essay, which aims to disclose the continuities and shifts in constructions of Italian post-war identity through the lenses of Marxist theory and postcolonial film analysis. The research will attempt to locate three paradigmatic cases of post-war Italian cinema and their authors in relation to the historical context, as well as coeval political and theoretical developments in the country. In order to produce a cartography of the Italian social landscape and its spaces of marginality and exclusion, the reader will be guided through this analysis by following the adventures of a paradigmatic character type, whom I will call “the wanderer”, a figure whose itinerant quality reflects the marginality of a social position and attitude that can be summed up by as the “art of getting by” (l’arte di arrangiarsi). As I will show, this position and attitude play a central role in defining a particular identity in relation to established social norms. To trace the transformation of this character, then, is also to trace transformations in the nation’s self-understanding in relation to class, race, gender, and the external world. My interpretation is built on two main theoretical premises. The first one is Gayatri Spivak’s contention that the importance of aesthetics, and aesthetic education, lies in their capacity to mediate between idealism and empiricism, or ethics and social reality. The second premise follows Fredric Jameson’s hypothesis about the creative quality of realism as an aesthetic paradigm, assuming that its primary aim and function is not a representative one, but one of active re-creation of the social reality anew. For me, these two premises are linked by the primary role they assign to aesthetic representation – as connected with imagination – in creating new grounds for social change.
