John Champagne, "Italian Masculinity as Queer Melodrama: Caravaggio, Puccini, Contemporary Cinema"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1349501654, 1137474807 | PDF | pages: 275 | 4.4 mb

Offering queer analyses of paintings by Caravaggio and Puccini and films by Özpetek, Amelio, and Grimaldi, Champagne argues that Italian masculinity has often been articulated through melodrama. Wide in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, this much-needed study shows the vital role of affect for both Italian history and masculinity studies.
