Tuttavia quella che seguirà non sarà semplicemente, né esclusivamente, una storia del cinema sperimentale italiano “dai cine-club al Neorea- lismo”, piuttosto una proposta metodologica, teorica e critica, che prenderà le mosse dagli oggetti sopravvissuti di tale esperienza: ov- verossia i film sperimentali. Parlando cautamente di un “cosiddetto” cinema sperimentale, riconosciamo implicitamente un imbarazzo legato a una definizione che in termini storico-critici può creare fraintendimenti o confusione.

  • Giulio Giovannoni Dossier
    Il lavoro di Medina Lasansky “Redisigning the Tuscan festivals” fa parte del libro “The Renaissance Perfected: Architecture, Spectacle, and Tourism in Fascist Italy”, pubblicato dall’autrice americana nel 2004 per la Penn- sylvania State University Press. Questo volume, che curiosamente è stato pressoché ignorato dalla Storio- grafia locale, riveste una notevole importanza nel campo degli studi toscani e dei Tourism studies. Esso evidenzia in modo nuovo il ruolo esercitato dal Fasci- mo nella costruzione al tempo stesso simbolica e mate- riale dell’identità toscana e ricostruisce il suo grande contributo allo sviluppo delle politiche per il Turismo in Italia. Dopo aver ripercorso la storia dell’innamora- mento degli inglesi per Firenze e per la Toscana a partire dai primi decenni del XIX secolo (Cap. I : “The Love Affair with Tuscany”), l’Autrice si sofferma con ampia evidenza documentaria sulla costruzione simbolica (Cap. II: “Mechanisms of Display: Festivals, Exhibi- tions, and Films”) e quindi materiale (Cap. III: “Urban Politics: the Fascist Rediscovery of Medieval Arezzo”) dell’identità toscana. La ricostruzione sistematica dello spazio urbano secondo i canoni di un Medioevo o di un rinascimento idealizzato in città come Arezzo e San Gimignano si accompagnava durante il fascismo alla promozione dell’identità attraverso i film, le mostre e i festival. La riscrittura («re-editing» nella terminolo- gia usata dall’Autrice) dello spazio urbano era quindi funzionale alla celebrazione del potere politico e del discutibile ideale di italianità da questo propugnato. Il nuovo spazio urbano diventava quindi la scena di gran- di manifestazioni storico-culturali nelle quali esaltare la prestanza fisica e la virilità del popolo e della razza italiche (Cap.
