This book is the first to establish the relevance of same-sex desires, pleasures and anxieties in the cinema of post-war Italy. It explores cinematic representations of homosexuality and their significance in a wider cultural struggle in Italy involving society, cinema, and sexuality between the 1940s and 1970s. Besides tracing the evolution of representations through both art and popular films, this book also analyses connections with consumer culture, film criticism and politics. Giori uncovers how complicated negotiations between challenges to and valorization of dominant forms of knowledge of homosexuality shaped representations and argues that they were not always the outcome of hatred but also sought to convey unmentionable pleasures and complicities. Through archival research and a survey of more than 600 films, the author enriches our understanding of thirty years of Italian film and cultural history.

"Pasolini queer ? Des oeuvres comme Pétrole et les prises de position de l'Italien peuvent nous le faire penser : fluidité des genres, refus des étiquettes, dénonciation des dangers d'un capitalisme hétéronormé... Tout cela semble préparer le terrain à une nouvelle conception de la sexualité. Dans son sillage, d'autres écrivain·es et cinéastes ont proposé leur propre lecture des nouveaux codes sexuels et de genre. Héritier·es ? Enfants bâtards ? Ou simplement porte-parole des évolutions sociétales ? De Duras à Siti en passant par Guibert, ce recueil propose un panorama queer en littérature et au cinéma, avec comme fils conducteurs la pensée et l'oeuvre pasoliniennes." --
