Why is it important?
In the review, I engage the most recent critical refections in Italian studies on eco-criticism, material agency, the post-human within the context of previous theories of realism.
Perspectives
The review focuses on questions that I have studied in connection with the cinema of neorealism and that I intend to further explore in the future.
