ITALY AND ITS AUDIENCES: 1945 TO THE PRESENT

7-8 July 2016
Oxford Brookes University

  • All sessions and keynotes are available for viewing.
  • Please refer to our conference report

Keynote speakers:

  • Robert C. Allen (University of North Carolina)
  • Mariagrazia Fanchi (Catholic University of Milan)
  • Martin Barker (Aberystwyth University)

In recent years studies of audiences and reception in the Italian context have flourished, both in relation to cinema (see Fanchi 2014; Casetti and Fanchi 2006; Fanchi and Mosconi 2002; Treveri Gennari, Hipkins and O’Rawe 2011) and television and new media (see Barra 2015; Scaglioni 2013; Penati 2013). This work situates itself in the broader context of analyses of the empirical spectator in Anglo-American film history (see Allen 2006, 2007, 2011; Biltereyst, Maltby, and Meers 2012; Maltby 2011). The conference aimed to bring together for the first time scholars working on spectators and audiences of Italian film, television, and new media. The programme included contributions in the following areas:

  • Methodological approaches: oral history, ethnography, statistical surveys, mapping audiences
  • Genre and star reception by audiences
  • Gender, class, race and sexuality
  • Geographical and topographical emphases in audience work: rural and urban, North and South, centres and peripheries
  • Diaspora and mobility: audiences outside Italy/audiences within Italy consuming non-Italian productions
  • Audience behaviours and fan cultures
  • Memorabilia and material culture
  • Age and generations within spectatorship
