History ne Amsterdam Amsterdam University Press 2017 monographic eng remote 1 online resource (519 pages) This collection for the first time brings together scholars to explore the ways that various people and groups in Italian society reacted to the advent of cinema. Looking at the responses of writers, scholars, clergymen, psychologists, philosophers, members of parliament, and more, the pieces collected here from that period show how Italians developed a common language to describe and discuss this invention that quickly exceeded all expectations and transcended existing categories of thought and artistic forms. The result is a close-up picture of a culture in transition, dealing with a "scandalous" new technology that appeared poised to thoroughly change everyday life Cover; Table of Contents; The Throb of the Cinematograph; Francesco Casetti; Section 1; Cinema and Modern Life; Francesco Casetti; Cinematography; Edipi; The Philosophy of Cinematograph; Giovanni Papini; Summertime Spectacles: The Cinema; Gaio; Why I Love the Cinema; Maffio Maffii; The Movie Theatre Audience; Giovanni Fossi; The Art of Celluloid; Crainquebille; The Triumph of the Cinema; Ricciotto Canudo; The Death of the Word; Fausto Maria Martini; Section 2; Film in Transition; Francesco Casetti; The Museum of the Fleeting Moment; Lucio d'Ambra; The Woman and the Cinema; Haydée.
