RESEARCH
LUCHINO VISCONTI
A new perspective on Visconti's works and public image, and on the literature on him, based on a revaluation of his transgressive component and on a philological analysis of his papers.
ALFRED HITCHCOCK
Hitchcock's work on gender and sexuality not only is open to always new dissections, but has had an enormous influence: studying both means to have a privileged viewpoint on the great part of film culture.
CINEMA AND SEXUALITY
Sexuality as a privileged perspective to rethink film history, how it has been conceived and the cultural practices connected to both art and popular films, to the extreme of pornography.
FILM CRITICISM
A consideration of both academic historiography and a criticism marginal in terms of ideological extremism, limited circulation and the social position of targeted readers, as a way to discuss what (and how) we do what we do.
CINEMA AND HOMOSEXUALITY
A hidden history involving any aspect of cinematic institution, from industry to audience, criticism, stardom, with fallouts on dominant knowledge, popular culture and media representations.
