Simona Bondavalli's book explores the multiple ways in which youth, real and imagined, shaped Pasolini's poetics and critical positions and shows how Pasolini's works became the basis for representations of contemporary young people, particularly Italians. From Pasolini's own coming of age under Fascism in the 1940s to the consumer capitalism of the 1970s, youth stood for innocence, vitality, and rebellion. Pasolini's representations of youth reflected and shaped those ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffering a systematic treatment of youth and adolescence within Pasolini's eclectic body of work, \u003cem\u003eFictions of Youth\u003c\/em\u003e provides both a broad overview of the changing nature of youth within Italian modernity and an in-depth study of Pasolini's significant contribution to that transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simona Bondavalli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442627077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442627079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Simona Bondavalli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518485541119,"sku":"9781442627079","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08604c92-aa83-4bad-8822-8f66b4414b6a.jpg?v=1778734615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fictions-of-youth-simona-bondavalli-9781442627079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
