Intellect is pleased to announce that Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies 12.1 is out now.

Special Issue: ‘Navigating the Mediterranean’

Guest edited by Giovanna Summerfield and Rosario Pollicino.

Looking at the Mediterranean as a geo-cultural space where people have met, assimilated, transformed and continue to do so, and at the relationship of cinema and media as representations of these ongoing movements and processes, the contributions of this special issue are pivotal in understanding the contemporary Mediterranean cultural identity.
