The Tucci-Cornetti Lecture

Subtitle: 
Immigration and Italian National Identity in the Plays of Gianni Clementi
Presenter: 
Stefano Muneroni, Associate Professor in the Department of Drama, University of Alberta
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Wed, 04/11/2018 - 18:00

Gianni Clementi is a prolific Italian playwright who has written a number of plays that deconstruct common stereotypes about immigration and look critically at notions of both Italianess and otherness. Drawing on postcolonial theory and migration studies, this paper considers how Clementi's plays, "Ben Hur", "Finis Terrae" and "Clandestini" challenge the otherness with which immigrants are often charged in Italy's media and politics and focuses on the notion of mare nostrum as a hybrid site where individuals of different races and ethnicities negotiate their respective differences.
