Summary:

"This book explores the representation of industrial labor in Italian literature and film from the 1950s through the 1970s. In a predominantly Catholic country with strong communist and socialist traditions, industrial labor meant more than factory work: it meant building a national community. The first article of the Italian Constitution clearly states that the Republic is founded on labor, and the period covered in this book sawbroad economic, social and cultural transformations from agriculture to industry and eventually information technologies. Italian writers and filmmakers used literature and cinema to interpret-and influence-these changes. The essays collected in this book consider their work as a whole. They also contextualize Italian industrial literature and film with respect to labor representations both before and after the selected chronology"-- Provided by publisher.
