For its interdisciplinary outlook, Wandering Women will be of great interest to readers in Italian studies, gender studies, and environmental humanities. They will discover eight remarkable women film directors spanning three generations, who treat the urban environment as a living ecology. -- Giuliana Bruno, Harvard University, author of Streetwalking on a Ruined Map Wandering Women invites readers on a lively voyage through Italian urban environments, from Milan to Rome, from Naples to Taranto and Reggio Calabria, following a dynamic canon of films made by Italian women directors. Addressing questions of ideology, geography, ecology, and aesthetics, Di Bianco's engrossing book examines figures both on screen and behind the scenes, showing how innovative filmmakers and their films reciprocally shape cinematic, urban, and affective places. This groundbreaking study is built on Di Bianco's deep knowledge of cinematic history and its many protagonists—directors, production crews, cities, ecologies, landscapes. Wandering Women is a convivial, generative conversation across generations of filmmakers. It is an innovative and timely treatise on ecology, cinema, and the Anthropocene in Italy, one that is destined to become a landmark in Italian film studies. -- Elena Past, author of Italian Ecocinema Beyond the Human Laura Di Bianco combines ecocritical and feminist perspectives with acute awareness of social inequalities as she travels through the landscape of contemporary women's cinema in Italy.
