CALL FOR PAPERS ISSUE N. 15 (2027)
Co-curated by Olga Alter and Alessandra Franetovich
«Something wrong with the idea of ‘dissident’ art.»
The Reception of Unofficial and Post-Soviet Art in Italy from 1960 to the Present
Edited by Tenley Bick
Drawing its title from Roland Barthes’ famous description of “Italianicity” and the artificial, even “barbarous” regulation of connotative meaning, this issue includes some contributions that challenge dominant narratives of postwar and contemporary Italian art, specifically through attention to postcolonial theory, decolonization of the gaze and the exclusionary discourses that frame it as an area of study.
