\nLoredana Polezzi<\/a>\r\n\t \t\t
Loredana Polezzi is Associate Professor of Italian Studies at the University of Warwick. Charlotte Ross is a lecturer in the Department of Italian Studies at the University of Birmingham. <\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn Corpore collects essays devoted to the critical exploration of the presence and impact of bodies in recent and contemporary Italian cultural production, in the light of current developments in thinking about bodies and their locations within cultures. The prominent position occupied by the body in Italian culture is at once undeniable and problematic. Dominant perspectives continue to inform a large number of representations of Italy and of Italians, and many of these images are deeply dependent on conceptualizations of bodies, of their roles, functions, and relative positions. Whether we are talking of models of masculinity, of gendered roles within the Italian family or of the infamous clich\u00e9 of the \u201cbella figura,\u201d the tendency is for such images to produce unified singular interpretations of \u201cItalian culture\u201d and to assign stable locations to \u201cItalian bodies\u201d within it. The essays included in the present volume, on the other hand, assume a plurality of conceptions of \u201cculture\u201d and of \u201cthe body.\u201d<\/p>\n
