1860 E <i>Nuovomondo</i>: due diverse “Storie” di subalterni siciliani a confronto


A Virga

Abstract

The article compares two films set in Sicily, 1860 by Blasetti and Nuovomondo by Crialese, which focus on the representation of the subaltern. Through a narrative and technical analysis of the two works, the aim is to show how Crialese through the lens of postcolonial theory subverts the overall idea of history that informs a classical work such as Blasetti’s film, including the role assigned to the subaltern within society.
