ABSTRACT This article explores how two recent configurations of the Albanian sworn virgin prompt a reflection on the intersection of transgender discourses with questions of transnational mobility. Elvira Dones’s novel Vergine giurata and its eponymous cinematic adaptation (directed by Laura Bispuri) imagine in diverging ways the material and symbolic disruptions that occur when this tribally sanctioned figure leaves Albania for another nation. Novel and film suggest to different degrees how this distinctive transgender figure challenges binary regimes of heteronormativity and the power-knowledge systems underpinning them, revealing contrasting investments in the possibilities of the sworn virgin's integration into the respective migratory settings.

ABSTRACT Traiettorie di sguardi is a hybrid text – partly memoir, partly anthropological essay – in which for the first time in Italian literature the author as a Black woman reverses the colonial gaze and records the racist attitude of the Italian population toward Black people. Makaping thus rewrites a long ethnographic tradition in which Africans have constituted the object of observation rather than the subjects of epistemology and produces the first theoretical reflection elaborated by a Black Italian (woman) intellectual in the Italian language on structural racism in Italy as a legacy of colonialism.

ABSTRACT This essay analyses the correlation between the infiltration of global capitalism and the representation of feminised labour in the Italian cinema of the economic boom. Specifically, it focuses on the presence of Esso oil company branding, frequently featured in Italian films from the 1950s and 1960s that centre depictions of feminised labour, including but not limited to the sale of sex. The juxtaposition between Esso branding and the visual representations of working women’s stories on screen emphasises the discrepancy between the thriving financial success of global industry and the struggles of working-class Italian women, for whom the promises of the economic boom proved elusive. Yet the juxtaposition also demonstrates the substantial economic role played by women, upon whom Italian society is dependent as a form of both fiscal and cultural capital.

As we send this issue off to press we note that the circumstances which made the previous Film Issue, along with publishing at large and of course life in general, so very particular, have not entirely disappeared. The COVID pandemic is still with us and certain parts of our social and work lives still unfold via virtual formats, while other experiences have brought us back face to face. As we gathered again this past summer for conferences, symposia and the collective viewing of outdoor cinema, we wondered which habits formed during these pandemic years might remain and, as scholars of media, how they may have permanently transformed production, viewing, and distribution practices. The idea of transformative practice – academic, social, artistic – is a current that runs through many of the pieces in this issue. The opening dossier, by Simone Brioni, Caterina Romeo, Rachel Johnson, and Linde Luijnenburg, builds in exciting ways on last year’s Film Issue focus topic, collaboration. The four articles describe, frame, and contextualise the making of a translingual, transcultural documentary film titled Maka. The film, a hybrid of academic scholarship and creative filmmaking, is partially a reflection on Italian Cameroonian writer and scholar Geneviéve Makaping’s life, and partially a theoretical reflection inspired by her book Traiettorie di sguardi: E se gli altri foste voi? (2001). It was conceived by Brioni in conversation with Makaping, and then created with a collaborative team that included director Elia Moutamid and producers Graziano Chiscuzzu and Ermanno Guida. The four articles published here, which are described in greater detail in the abstract that opens the section, include an analysis of Traiettorie di sguardi (Romeo), an account of the theoretical and productive origins of the documentary (Brioni), a look at the philosophies that guided its production (Johnson), and a piece situating the work of director Moutamid (Luijnenburg). The dossier itself, whose creation saw the four authors in dialogue, becomes another piece of the collaborative puzzle that seeks to find structures and voices for an anti-racist, decolonial Italian studies. Like other recent work published in The Italianist Film Issue on collaborative scholarship and editorial work, videographic criticism, and environmental criticism, this section suggests the urgency – but also the creativity and good faith – with which scholars are seeking new audiences, new formats, and new analytical tools adequate to address critically important issues in contemporary Italy. The issue also features a rich set of open theme articles. Wide-ranging in topic, they can be linked by intersecting explorations of corporality, gender, (trans)national cultures and boundaries. Lora Jury examines the depiction of women as both economic and cultural capital in films of the economic boom period.

当我们将这一期付印时，我们注意到，使上一期电影，以及整个出版业，当然还有整个生活如此特别的情况，并没有完全消失。新冠肺炎疫情仍在我们身边，我们的社交和工作生活的某些部分仍通过虚拟形式展开，而其他经历让我们重新面对面。今年夏天，当我们再次聚集在一起参加会议、研讨会和户外电影院的集体观看时，我们想知道在疫情期间形成的哪些习惯可能会保留下来，作为媒体学者，它们可能如何永久地改变了制作、观看和发行实践。变革实践的理念——学术、社会、艺术——是贯穿本期许多文章的潮流。开幕档案由西蒙·布里奥尼、卡特琳娜·罗密欧、雷切尔·约翰逊和林德·路易滕堡撰写，以令人兴奋的方式建立在去年电影问题的焦点话题——合作之上。这四篇文章描述了一部名为《马卡》的跨语言、跨文化纪录片的制作过程。这部电影融合了学术学术和创意电影制作，部分反映了意大利喀麦隆作家和学者Geneviéve Makaping的生活，部分是受她的书《Traiettorie di sguardi:E se gli altri foste voi？（2001）。它是布里奥尼在与马卡平的对话中构思的，然后与包括导演伊利亚·穆塔姆、制片人格拉齐亚诺·奇斯库祖和埃尔曼诺·吉达在内的合作团队共同创作。本文发表的四篇文章在本节开头的摘要中进行了更详细的描述，其中包括对《罗密欧》的分析、对纪录片理论和生产起源的描述（布里奥尼）、对指导其制作的哲学的审视（约翰逊），以及一篇关于导演穆塔姆作品的文章。这份档案本身见证了四位作者的对话，它成为了另一块合作拼图，旨在为反种族主义、非殖民化的意大利研究寻找结构和声音。与最近发表在《意大利电影问题》上的其他关于合作学术和编辑工作、视频批评和环境批评的作品一样，本节表明了学者们寻求新受众、新形式、，以及新的分析工具，这些工具足以解决当代意大利极其重要的问题。这期杂志还有一系列丰富的开放主题文章。它们的主题广泛，可以通过对主体性、性别、（跨性别）民族文化和边界的交叉探索来联系起来。Lora Jury研究了经济繁荣时期电影中对女性既是经济资本又是文化资本的描述。她关注《罗马纳》（Luigi Zampa，1954）等电影中埃索石油公司标志的频繁视觉引用，追溯了石油资本主义和卖淫的交叉点，认为20世纪50年代的意大利经济在一个总是性别化的社会等级制度中延续和繁荣。展望最近几年，Aine O'Healy和Caterina Romeo也考虑了性别身份的问题，他们在Elvira Dones 2007年的小说《Vergine giurata》和Laura 2015年改编的电影中研究了变性人的表现和跨国流动性
