DESCRIPTION:Women & the Mafia in Italian Cinema\n\nVeronica Vegna\nUniversi
 ty of Chicago\n\nTuesday\, March 16th | 12:45 - 2:00\n\nWhat role do women 
 play within Sicilian mafia and how has this role been represented in Italia
 n films in recent years? Like a two-headed Janus and notwithstanding the ri
 gid patriarchal structure that allows only male affiliation to this crimina
 l organization\, women (particularly in their role of mothers) contribute t
 o the existence and continuity of the mafia but can also become a threat to
  it. Drawing on sociological studies on women and organized crime\, this le
 cture discusses filmic representations of the complex and conflicting relat
 ionship of women with Sicilian mafia.\n\nVeronica Vegna is the author of Do
 nne\, mafia e cinema: una prospettiva interdisciplinare (Longo Editore\, 20
 17)\, a critical study of gender roles and the representation of the mafia 
 in contemporary Italian cinema. She is Senior Instructional Professor\, Dir
 ector of the Italian Language Program\, and Coordinator of the Languages Ac
 ross the Curriculum Program at the University of Chicago.\n\nThis event is 
 free and open to the public.\nPlease contact Professor Cosetta Seno for Zoo
