In her talk, Dr. Clarissa Cl? will discuss a variety of popular culture representations of Italian American masculinities ? queer, straight, male, and female ? in different media, ranging from cinema, TV, comics and beyond.
Dr. Cl? is Associate Professor and Program Director of Italian Studies at SDSU. Her research interests include Italian culture, literature, film, music, popular culture, postcolonial, migration and diaspora studies, feminist and queer studies. In addition to publishing broadly on all of those topics, she has also edited two special journal double issues: one for the Italian journal "Il Lettore di Provincia" on regional cultural studies in Emilia-Romagna, and one, with Anita Angelone, for the journal "Studies in Documentary Film" on contemporary Italian documentaries. Dr Cl? collaborates with several Italian American organizations in the community and is also on the Board of Directors of the San Diego Italian Film Festival.
