No. 2 (2011): Visual Identity of the Italians

Have the artworks of the last forty years preserved their ability or capacity to narrate the historical, anthropological, and social identity of Italy? In which paradigmatic works is this capacity still surviving and in which is it brought into crisis? This issue is focused on artworks that addressed the visual identity of Italy in many respects: archetyes, stereotypes, tradition, iconographic crisis, the sight by the other, etc.
