Unlike countries like France, the Czech Republic or Brazil, Italy did not have a new wave properly understood as a movement. However, while new artistic schools were emerging in many other countries, Italy was undergoing its most dramatic social and economic transformations. Those violent changes, together with the perceived necessity of renewing the aesthetic heritage of Neorealism, sparked a drastic regeneration of the cinematic language and marked the most memorable period of Italian film history.Italian Post-Neorealist Cinema explores the ferments of Italian cinema from the mid-50s to the end of the 60s, situating its wealth in the context of other national cinemas emerging at the same time. Olmi, Pasolini, Antonioni, Fellini, Visconti, the Taviani Brothers, Cavani, Rosi, Ferreri and many others all made their debut or directed their most representative works during the period. The book brings to the surface the lines of experimentation and artistic renewal appearing after the exhaustion of Neorealism, mapping complex areas of interest such as the emergence of ethical concerns, the relationship between ideology and representation, and the role of Italian counter-culture.

Explores biopolitical currents in world cinema, paying particular attention to postsocialist and postrevolutionary filmmakers from Iran, Russia, China, and Romania.The Biopolitical Turn in World Cinema explores how cinematic form and content understand and represent relationships of power between the state and life itself. Cinema, it argues, is both technical apparatus and aesthetic object and as such is imminently biopolitical, both as a medium of governmental control and as a site of resistance. The book analyzes a range of cinematic movements, paying particular attention to postsocialist and postrevolutionary filmmakers from Iran (Asghar Farhadi), Russia (Sergei Loznitsa), China (Xiaoshuai Wang), and Romania (Radu Jude). The book concludes by looking toward filmmakers—from Jordan Peele to Albert Serra—who further illuminate the limits of biopolitical paradigms, offering new ways of understanding contemporary political and ethical challenges posed by neoliberal globalization. While this book will appeal to film studies specialists, it is also a comprehensive introduction to film theory and biopolitical thought that will appeal to nonacademic and student readers with an interest in the subjects.
