During a period of heightened global concerns about the movement of immigrants and refugees across borders, Migrant Anxieties explores how filmmakers in Italy have probed the tensions accompanying the countrys shift from an emigrant nation to a destination point for over five million immigrants over the course of three decades. Áine OHealy traces a phenomenology of anxiety that is not only present at the sociopolitical level but also interwoven into the narrative strategies of over 30 films produced since 1990, throwing into sharp relief the interface between the local and the global in this transnational era. Starting with the representation of post-communist migrations to Italy from Eastern Europe and subsequent arrivals from Africa through the controversial frontier of Lampedusa, OHealy explores topics as diverse as the configuration of migrant labor, affective surrogacy, Italian whiteness, and the legacy of Italys colonial history. Showing how contemporary filmmaking practices in Italy are linked to changes in the broader media landscape, OHealy analyzes the ways in which both Italian and migrant filmmakers are reimagining Italian society and remapping the nations borderscape.About author(s):Áine OHealy is Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures at Loyola Marymount University. She is editor (with Katarzyna Marciniak and Anikó Imre) of Transnational Feminism in Film and Media.
