Silvia Carlorosi

Silvia Carlorosi is Assistant Professor of Italian at the University of Maryland since 2007, where she teaches courses on Italian literature, cinema and culture.  She received a Laurea in Lingue e Letterature Straniere from the University of Urbino, Italy, an M.A. in Mass Communications at Miami University of Ohio (May 2001), and a Ph.D. in Italian at the University of Pennsylvania (August 2006) with the dissertation "Cinepoiesis:  The Visual Poetics of Pier Paolo Pasolini, Michelangelo Antonioni and Franco Piavoli."   Her research and teaching interests include 20th century Italian literature and film, cultural studies, literary theory and philosophy, and teaching pedagogy.  She has published articles on Italian cinema, and is currently working on her book length manuscript, that examines how the language of a “cinema of poetry” works both in its theoretical foundations and in its modes of representation, and how it takes shape in the exemplary practice of various Italian directors.

The following articles are amongst her publications:

"Politicizzazione dell'Estetica o Estetizzazione della Politica? 1860 di Alessandro Blasetti" Italian Culture, Vol. 18, 2, 2000. 87-104.

“Neo-Romanticismo in risposta al Postmodernismo?  L’influenza leopardiana nella poetica cinematografica felliniana di La voce della luna”  Ed. Luca Pasquale.Bologna: Gedit Ed, 2006. 89-111.

“Pier Paolo Pasolini’s La ricotta:  The Power of Cinepoiesis.”  (Forthcoming in Italica, n.3 2008).
