Parts of Chapter One, Four, Six and of the conclusions have been included in a research article titled ‘Culture as commons: theoretical challenges and empirical evidence from occupied cultural spaces in Italy’, published on Cultural Trends, Volume 27, Number 1, 2018. 4 Abstract This doctoral work is based on analysis of the discourse on cultural value in contemporary Italy, what are the 'grand narratives' that characterize this discourse and what is the relationship between them. In particular, great relevance is given to the concepts of “neoliberalism” and “commons”. The application of these two economical terms to the field of culture is particularly relevant in the Italian discourse: in 2011, Italy saw the rise of protest groups made of professionals from the arts sector who opposed practices influenced by the theories on the commons to the implementation of neoliberal-inspired policies. In fact, since the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008, the discontent of the Italian population with the implementation of austerity policies and the lack of political and economic stability caused an uprising involvement in political activism. The cultural sector, in particular, was facing a lack of state funding; in addition, many young professionals had been struggling to find a paid job, especially in the theatre sector. The dissatisfaction of the emergent creative class led to a series of demonstrations and campaigns that asked for the recognition of the rights of arts workers. Many abandoned buildings, especially former theatres, were occupied and became spaces dedicated to artistic and political experimentation. Two of these organisations are discussed in the case studies: Teatro Valle Occupato, in Rome, and Rebeldía, in Pisa. The idea of cultural value promoted by these organisations is analysed in relation to the one reflected by Italian cultural policy after 2008. This thesis shows not only how cultural value is shaped by economic factors such as austerity, but also how it represents a battleground where different ways of understanding politics and policy clash, mingle and sometimes overlap. Furthermore, it shows that activist forms of arts management can develop their own pathways to innovation, filling a vacuum left by cultural policy. 5 Introduction This project is an analysis of the discourse on cultural value in contemporary Italy; it aims to explore the 'grand narratives' that characterize it and the relationship between them. The concepts of neoliberalism and commons, and the theories that have them at their core, are a particular focus of the research. These two terms are particularly relevant in the Italian cultural discourse: in 2011, Italy saw the rise of a group of high-profile protests by professionals from the arts sector who developed practices influenced by the theories on the commons in opposition to the implementation of neoliberal-inspired policies. The idea of cultural value promoted by these organisations is analysed in relation to the one reflected by Italian cultural policy after 2008. This thesis shows not only how cultural value is shaped by economic factors such as austerity, but also how it represents a battleground where different ways of understanding politics and policy clash, mingle and sometimes overlap. The thesis includes an analysis of two grassroots cultural organizations born out of protest groups: Rebeldía in Pisa and Teatro Valle Occupato in Rome, focusing on their notions of cultural value and culture-driven activism, and how they promote it in relation to their local cultural environment. However, despite its focus on the Italian case, the thesis acknowledges that what has happened in Pisa and Rome is in fact part of a broader political, social and cultural phenomenon, and of a revived interest in and vitality of arts-led activism. My analysis found that these organizations’ activities include participatory governance practices, the co-production of projects and an inclusive approach to audiences; however, the local authorities that interacted with them showed no interest for legitimizing these practices or employ them in the local cultural policy. These findings raise questions about the value of the cultural work of activists and the resistance of policy-makers in recognising it. The key research questions behind this doctoral project are the following: How is cultural value affected by economic and political factors? What were the grand narratives that dominated the discourse on cultural value in Italy between 2007 and 2016? What did culture represent in the political discourse after the economic crisis? What is the trajectory of cultural value in a country divided between neoliberal 6 tendencies and radical participative practices? And lastly, can opposite positions produce mingled, mixed-up concepts of cultural value? In order to find an answer to these questions, we must first position this study within the field of research on “cultural value”. Cultural value and the way it is formed, interpreted and justified constitute a particularly relevant area of cultural policy studies. Indeed, justifying spending in the arts and culture is a crucial issue of cultural policy making. In his report Capturing Cultural Value: How Culture has Become a Tool of Government Policy, John Holden (2006) describes how culture has become a tool to serve governments’ social and economic agendas. Investment in culture is allocated on the ground of instrumental values, and the methods used to supply evidence of the social and economic impacts are not always fit for the purpose or sufficient to justify such expenditures (pp.16-17). Instrumentalism has become one of the key methods to justify public expenditure in the arts. In particular, economic impact has often been used as a raison d’être for spending taxpayers’ money in the arts. For example, in 2013, the Arts Council of England declared that arts and culture deliver 0.4 per cent of gross domestic product, a significant return on less than 0.1 percent of total government spending (Centre of Economic and Business Research, 2013, p.1). Belfiore (2014, p. 21). links this concept of cultural value back to the idea of “monoculture” theorised by F.S.

Grazie di tutto il tuo amore Nostra signora Istruzione Murubutu. (2016). La bella creola. L'uomo che viaggiava nel vento e altri racconti di brezze e correnti. Bologna, Italy: Irma Records/Mandibola Records. 2 Abstract In this project, I analyze the narratives of gender equality circulated on the social media platform Twitter by a sample of gender equality institutions, women’s rights activists, LGBTI rights activists, and private users. I drew a theoretical sample of user and a convenience sample of keyword-based discussions (so-called ‘hashtags’). Data was gathered for a year-long timespan (1 September 2016 – 31 August 2017). My aim is to analyze ‘gender equality’ as an object of knowledge constructed in the sampled discourses. The data is sampled across the supranational- national divide, with part of the sample referring to the supranational level of ‘Europe’ and part of the sample referring to a national case study on Italy. The purpose of this selection is to investigate the extent to which discourses of gender equality travel across the supranational-national divide, potentially contributing to the discursive consolidation of ‘gender equality’ as one of the defining elements of ‘Europe’.

  • Pippo Delbono
    PIPPO DELBONO BIOGRAPHY (*translated to English from Italian) Pippo Delbono, author, actor, director, is one of Italy’s most unconventional and distinctive theatre artists. He began his studies of dramatic art in a traditional school that he left in research for a new theatrical language. He decided to study the principles of eastern theatre, where is central a detailed and strict work of the actor on the body and on the voice, where theatre and dance meet and merge. At the beginning of the Eighties, he founded Pippo Delbono Company with whom he represented all his performances, from Il tempo degli assassini (1987) to La Menzogna (2008). They are not representations of theatrical texts but entire creations where the actors are part of a stable core that grows up through the time. The meeting with people coming from emarginated areas of society brings a turning in his poetical research. From this encounter came out Barboni (1997). Some of these actors, for example Bobò, a deaf-and-dumb person met in the mental hospital of Aversa after 45 years spent there, strengthened their work inside the company and are today a basic part of the experience. The performances - La rabbia , dedicated to Pasolini, Guerra, Esodo, Gente di plastica, Urlo, Il silenzio , Questo Buio Feroce and the other already mentioned- have been represented in more than 50 countries. The experience of Pippo Delbono Company has been hosted in a lot of different theatrical International festivals, between them Avignon Festival which welcomed the company three times, coproduced the performance Urlo and hosted “La Menzogna” , the last theatrical production, in July 2009.

This dissertation discusses film melodrama in its visual, gestural, and aural manifestations. My focus is on the persistence of melodrama and the traces it leaves on post-World War II Italian cinema: from the Neorealist canon of the 1940s to works that engage with the psychological and physical, private, and collective traumas after the experience of a totalitarian regime (Cavani’s Il portiere di notte, 1974), to postmodern Viscontian experiments set in a 21st-century capitalist society (Guadagnino’s Io sono l’amore, 2009). The aural dimension is fundamental as an opening to the epistemology of each film. I pay particular attention to the presence of operatic music – as evoked directly or through semiotic displacement involving the film’s aesthetic and expressive figures – and I acknowledge the existence of a long legacy of practical and imaginative influences, infiltrations and borrowings between the screen and the operatic stage in the Italian cinematographic tradition.

Underlying the bittersweet comedy, and the metafilmic experiences of moving backwards and forwards in time and playing with different cinematographic techniques to explore the multiple facets of Cervantes’s novel, Grisoni’s return to the village, where he discovers the negative legacy of his artistic experiment, puts its finger on the ethics of community engagement.

  • Expatriate Voting: the Shifting Approach of Italian Policy Makers Since 2001
    Expatriate voting: the shifting approach of Italian policy makers since 2001 Chiara De Lazzari This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Health, Arts and Design Swinburne University of Technology 2017 ! ! Abstract Since 2001 Italian citizens living permanently in foreign countries can cast their vote and elect their overseas representatives for the Italian parliament. The inclusion of the Italian transnational community in Italian elections has over time created major concerns in the political arena since the elections in 2006 when votes from abroad determined the political outcome of the elections in Italy. This event generated a new debate amongst political parties and members of the institutions on the legitimacy of the expatriate voting system. This study explores the motivations that guided policy makers to introduce the expatriate voting policy in Italy to ascertain whether and how Italian policy makers have shifted their perspective in regard to the political participation of the Italian transnational community. This research also analyses the issues identified by policy makers in relation to the current expatriate voting policy since 2006 and to make predictions about the future of this policy in Italy. The study used a qualitative approach with 24 semi-structured in-depth interviews with policy makers. These included members of political parties, members of institutions, academics and experts in the field. Moreover, this research includes the document analysis of proposals submitted by MPs and Senators to review the expatriate voting policy since 2006 and the analysis of electoral turnout and electoral preferences in the foreign constituency.
