  • Intersection of Gender and Italian/Americaness
    THE INTERSECTION OF GENDER AND ITALIAN/AMERICANESS: HEGEMONY IN THE SOPRANOS by Niki Caputo Wilson A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL December 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have completed this dissertation without the guidance of my committee members, the help from my friends and colleagues, and the support of my family. I extend my deepest gratitude to my committee chair Dr. Jane Caputi for her patience, guidance, and encouragement. You are truly an inspiration. I would like to thank my committee members as well.

  • Feast of the 7 Fish: Christmas Eve Italian Style
    December 13, 2011 Unique Visitors Per Month: 14,669,767 Feast of the 7 Fish: Christmas Eve Italian Style Inarguably, one of the most treasured facets of Christmas that celebrators relish this jingle-jingle, pine-scented, bow-topped holiday is all the great tradition that comes along with it. For many, a big part of that doesn’t just happen under the tree or bursting from stockings hung by the chimney with care— but in the kitchen. Frank Pellegrino, one of the owners of Rao's Italian restaurant in New York City. Christian cultures the world over celebrate the same holiday with entirely different, wonderfully deliciously exciting menus. But perhaps one of the most unique food-centric celebratory meals this time of year is the annual Italian Christmas Eve dinner --a gut-busting, table-overflowing bash of seafood-centric bounty. “I can go as far back to when I was a little boy and remember always being at my grandparent’s house with the whole family,” says Frank Pellegrino Jr. of eating with his clan in Oceanside, Long Island, N.Y. on the holiday. Pellegrino isn’t just any ol’ nostalgic paesano—he also happens to be the fourth-generation owner of the famous 100-plus year old iconic Italian eatery Rao's in Harlem as well as the much newer five-year-old outpost in Las Vegas. He’s a man who knows a thing or two about traditional Italian meals. “We’d have the seven fish… well, actually more than that! And every Christmas Eve, it was something we really looked forward to.” In America, the celebration is often referred to as the Feast of the 7 Fish, the number meant to represent in the Catholic religion either the seven virtues, or possibly the seven sacraments.

  • The Overwhelming Albatross: Stereotypical Representations and Italian-Canadian Political and Cultural Life
    Saggi Canada The Overwhelming Albatross: Stereotypical Representations and Italian-Canadian Political and Cultural Life Francesca L’Orfano Carleton University, Ottawa The limits of one’s language signify the limits of one’s world. William Boelhower (1984, p. 26) Introduction On May 8, 2002, while watching CBC Newsworld morning, Don Martin, a reporter from the «Calgary Herald», was being asked about the recent Group Action patronage scandal that had hit the Liberal government. After discuss- ing the bureaucratic quagmire, Martin was asked what role he felt Alfonso Gagliano had played in the entire situation. Martin, without hesitation replied: «He’s sort of the godfather of the whole scandal». For Martin this is the limit of his language. An Italian name is involved and political «corruption», not the exclusive domain of any party or any ethnic group, jumps to a bigoted slur. This is the language that continues even today. The language of the media that without thought or effort continues to create the Other and in this circumstance the Other is an Italian-Canadian. My present research builds on the work of my MA thesis titled Challenging Exclusion: Film, Video, Identity, Memory and the Italian Canadian Immigrant Experience (L’Orfano, 2002a). For the first time in Canada,Challenging Exclu- sion brought together, narrated, wrote, and documented, a body of films and videos, both by and on the Italian-Canadian community and experience, created © Centro Altreitalie, Globus et Locus 137 Altreitalie gennaio-dicembre 2009 over the past fifty postwar years. The work then probed what it means for Italian diasporic artists to be, act and construct «Canadian».
