Animata Research is a collection of resources for animation scholars; that is to say, it hosts any kind of scholarly document which could contribute to the knowledge in this field. Articles, reviews, call for papers, conference announcements, sources and documents will be welcome.
The 15th volume of the journal Quaderni del CSCI. Rivista annuale di cinema italiano (2019) is now available.
The theme of this issue, edited by Roberto Calabretto, Marco Cosci and Elena Mosconi, is All’ascolto del cinema italiano: musiche, voci, rumori.
It features two articles that deal with animation:
Marco Bellano, “L’insolita canzone. Sulle tracce della musica per l’animazione italiana” (pp. 68-74);
Marco Bellano, “Pianoforti, organi e tastiere” (pp. 219-221).
The third part of the proceedings of the conference “Animation and Italy” has recently been published in issue no. 179 of the journal “Cabiria – Studi di Cinema”. Some of the articles (Bendazzi, Bellano, Ricci) are additional contributions on the same topic of the conference.
The articles (in Italian) are now available for download:
Priscilla MANCINI, L’animazione dipinta. La Corrente Neopittorica del cartoon italiano
Giannalberto BENDAZZI, Emanuele Luzzati: l’uomo, la creazione e la virtù
Marco BELLANO, “Per me, è una bellissima favola”: Il flauto magico di Gianini e Luzzati
Giovanni RICCI, Rispettare la diversità: La gabbanella e il gatto tra Sepulveda e D’Alò
The 28th international SAS – Society for Animation Studies Conference, “The Cosmos of Animation”, will take place from June 26 to 30, 2016, at the the School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
