Sin presencia ni gloria. El trabajo femenino en la información cinematográfica italiana (1945-1954)
Abstract
The working women’s image during the first post war years is analyzed, from 1945 until the arrival of television (1954) as shown in the Italian cinematographic news reels. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the news featuring working women is made, and the types of professional activities which are normally linked to them and they way they are portrayed are established. This visual representation is contextualized in the legal framework related to the working situation, created by the government of the chosen period. This way, we can compare the image offered by the cinematographic news with the reality of the working Italian women. It is shown that the period’s cinema offered an idealized vision of the women’s working conditions and granted women a secondary role inside the news‘s priorities.Downloads
