In der Nachkriegszeit setzte sich das Narrativ durch, dass die italienische Bevölkerung seiner verdeckten Manipulation hilflos erlegen, gleichzeitig aber schon immer gegen den Faschismus und Mussolini gewesen sei. Dass dem nicht so war, Mussolini eine hohe Zustimmung inner- und außerhalb Italiens genoss – auch und gerade weil er in seinen Reden geschickt auf die Meinungen und Wünsche seiner Zeitgenossen einging –, das wird in dieser breit angelegten Propaganda-Analyse detailreich gezeigt. Die Studie geht dezidiert der Frage nach, wie Mussolini Mythen rhetorisch einsetzte, um gesellschaftlichen Konsens zu erlangen und aufrecht zu erhalten.

« Précisément situé dans un champ critique exhaustivement balisé, le livre frappe par sa finesse et sa nouveauté – quant à l’œuvre de Perec, aujourd’hui devenue classique, mais aussi plus largement pour ce qui est de l’importance du quotidien, notamment urbain, dans la littérature et l’art contemporains. » (Christelle Reggiani)
Perec’s Lieux project consists of texts describing the author's places of memory, photographs, personal documents and ephemera collected in the street. With this vast and fascinating body of work, Perec aimed at anchoring his biography in urban space. Georges Perec et ses lieux de mémoire is the first book length study about this “mythic book”, which remained unpublished for a long time. It explores Perec’s recurrent themes, writing practises, graphisms and photographs, showing the impact of classical rhetoric on his methodology, which makes Lieux into a topics of his places of memory.
“This study is precisely situated within an abundant critical field. It strikes the reader through its finesse and novelty both regarding Perec’s work, which has become a classic, and more largely the importance of the urban every day in contemporary literature and art.” (Christelle Reggiani)

How is skin depicted on screen, be it as the body’s surface or its envelope? How do filmmakers represent skin in its multitude of marks, inscriptions, colours and textures? What aesthetic, symbolic, ideological, or even political values does skin adopt in cinematographic fiction, depending on the period and the cultural area of the film? To what extent can the surfaces of the image and the screen themselves become the film’s skin? In this book, researchers and cinema professionals offer answers to these questions through a plural and multicultural selection of films. This collective work dives into the epidermal imaginative world of directors from various backgrounds, at the crossroads of academic analyses and exclusive testimonies from those who work in the film industry. From Eyes Without a Face to La Piel Que Habito, from The Pillow Book to Memento, and including a few incursions into cinema from Japan, Great Britain, Russia, Portuguese-speaking or Spanish-American countries, this collection explores the multiple shapes, meanings, and implications of skins of and on the screen.
