Bio/Research
Professor Bolongaro's interests include the contemporary Italian writer Italo Calvino, contemporary fiction (Italian, British, and US), post-World War II Italian cinema, literary theory and cultural studies.
His work includes the book Italo Calvino and the Compass of Literature (forthcoming from University of Toronto Press), as well as articles on Boccaccio, John Fowles, and the theory of the fantastic.
Recently Prof. Bolongaro has tackled Italian cinematic neorealism which he discusses from in terms of the Italian directors' self-understanding as progressive intellectuals, as well as from the perspective of gender and the problematic of masculinity. This interest in film has recently led Prof. Bolongaro to carry out a detailed study of Bernardo Bertolucci's early film The Spider Stratagem which is situated within the political and ideological debates of the times, as well as within the current theoretical debates about history and narrative (Hayden White, Carlo Ginzburg, etc.).
