This essay investigates the representation of carceral space in Italian narrative cinema of the past fifteen years, with particular emphasis on its function as a symbolic lens through which to interrogate broader cultural, social, and even existential questions that transcend the immediate domain of imprisonment. By engaging with a wide corpus of films, the study delineates the principal representational and narrative strategies mobilized in this context.

Abstract

This essay investigates the representation of carceral space in Italian narrative cinema of the past fifteen years, with particular emphasis on its function as a symbolic lens through which to interrogate broader cultural, social, and even existential questions that transcend the immediate domain of imprisonment. By engaging with a wide corpus of films, the study delineates the principal representational and narrative strategies mobilized in this context.
