Ruth Glynn
Ruth Glynn is professor of modern Italian studies at the University of Bristol. Glynn’s current research interrogates cultural representations of Naples and the city’s relationship with the Italian nation state. Publications on Naples include articles on the gendering of city and nation in cultural representations of the Allied Occupation; the role assigned the city in critical theory, and constructions of the city and its relationship with Italy in contemporary literature and film. Previous research addressed Italy’s experience of political violence in the 1970s; publications here include the monograph Women, Terrorism, and Trauma in Italian Culture (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) and the co-edited volumes Terrorism, Italian Style: Representations of Political Violence in Contemporary Italian Cinema (IMLR Books, 2012) and Remembering Aldo Moro: The Cultural Legacy of the 1978 Kidnapping and Murder (Legenda, 2012).
