SUMMARY:Dentro e fuori il sistema: dallo zhuantipian ad "I have graduated 我毕业了" (SWYC Film Group\, 1992)\, di Désirée Marianini
DESCRIPTION:Dentro e fuori il sistema: dallo zhuantipian ad “I have graduated 我毕业了” (SWYC Film Group\, 1992)\, di Désirée Marianini \nNegli anni Ottanta il documentario televisivo cinese si attualizza attraverso il modello dello zhuantipian 专题片\, serie storico-culturali che\, pur affacciandosi alle coproduzioni internazionali e a nuove soluzioni tecniche\, mantengono una funzione pedagogica e una continuità con il realismo socialista. In questo contesto\, River Elegy 河殇 (Wang Luxiang\, 1988) documentario mandato in onda nel 1988 e I have graduated 我毕业了 (SWYC Film Group\, 1992) passato invece nei canali alternativi di fruizione\, rappresentano una frattura significativa: pur adottando il linguaggio televisivo entrambe le opere indagano criticamente come il passato si innesta nel futuro. Tra continuità ideologica e spazi di negoziazione\, gli autori e registi di documentari degli anni Ottanta funzionano da ponte per ciò che avverrà nel decennio successivo. \nTerzo e ultimo seminario nell’ambito del ciclo dedicato all’audiovisivo in Cina e organizzato nell’ambito dei corsi di studio in Lingue per la Comunicazione Interculturale e d’Impresa e Lingue per l’Impresa e lo Sviluppo\, con il supporto dell’Aula Confucio di Arezzo. \nvenerdì 15 maggio\, ore 11.00-12.00 – Aula 19 (Palazzina Uomini) \nUniversità di Siena-Campus di Arezzo \nViale Cittadini\, 33 \n____________ \nDesirèe Marianini ha conseguito un Master in Lingua Cinese presso l’Università Sapienza di Roma e ha completato una specializzazione in Regia e Sviluppo di Progetti presso la scuola di documentario\, televisione e nuovi media ZeLIG in Italia. È attualmente dottoranda presso l’Università Sapienza\, dove la sua ricerca indaga il riuso creativo dei materiali d’archivio nel documentario cinese contemporaneo. Ha ricoperto incarichi di docenza in Lingua Cinese e in Lingue e Letterature della Cina e del Sud-est asiatico presso l’Università della Tuscia (Viterbo\, Italia) e la LUMSA (Roma\, Italia). Ha inoltre insegnato Traduzione Audiovisiva all’interno del Master di secondo livello in Traduzione Specializzata presso l’Università Sapienza di Roma. Oltre all’attività accademica\, lavora come traduttrice narrativa e documentarista.

SUMMARY:Limina: Marginality\, Memory\, and Counter-Narratives in the Post-Socialist Space
DESCRIPTION:Limina: Marginality\, Memory\, and Counter-Narratives in the Post-Socialist Space \nFriday\, 15 May 2026 University of Siena \nRoom 07 – Palazzina Donne (Pionta Campus in Arezzo) \nProgramme: \n\n12.00-12.15 Introduction Xu Zheng\, Ornella De Nigris and Alessandra Carbone\n12.15-12.45 Ģirts Vikmanis\, Limina: The film Soviet Milk (Latvia/Belgium\, 2023) as a dual narrative of different historical eras (1945–1989)\n12.45-13.15 Desirèe Marianini\, Representing Reality and Individual Memory: The Turn of Chinese Documentary in the 1990s\n13.15-13.45 Guest Lecture and Screening with filmmaker Gu Tao\n13.45-14.30 Round table and discussion\n\nThe Limina seminar explores marginality not only as a geographic or social condition but as an epistemic and linguistic position from which to observe and challenge the hegemonic narratives of socialist and post-socialist 20th-century history. Through a dialogue between Soviet Latvia and reform-era China\, the seminar focuses on threshold spaces (limina) where identity\, memory\, and language intersect. In these contexts\, marginality is not only the periphery of power but also a site for producing alternative discourses\, often in tension with official languages and rhetoric. \nThe film Mātes piens (Soviet Milk)\, based on the novel by Nora Ikstena\, portrays the trauma of Soviet rule through a narrative where body and language overlap: silence\, censorship\, and the internalization of ideological discourse create a communicative fracture between generations. Linguistic marginality—between Latvian and Russian\, between private and public speech—thus becomes an integral part of the colonial experience. \nSimilarly\, Chinese documentary filmmaking of the 1990s redefined the relationship between image and language: the use of xianchang (“what happens in front of the camera”) reduces discursive mediation and foregrounds vernacular language\, dialects\, silences\, and hesitation. In the work of Gu Tao\, language is not only a medium of communication but also an index of belonging and marginality: the voices of ethnic minorities\, often excluded from standard Mandarin\, carry alternative memories and worldviews. \nAcross both contexts\, tensions emerge between: official language and lived language; institutional narration and individual storytelling; visibility and silence. Marginality thus also takes the form of a linguistic condition: to speak “from the margins” often means using minority\, hybrid\, or non-standard languages—or resisting the dominant language through silence\, ambiguity\, or fragmentation. \nThe seminar invites reflection on key questions: \n\nHow do linguistic and cultural policies in socialist and post-socialist contexts shape cultural production?\nWhat is the relationship between language\, identity\, and power in marginal areas?\nHow can cinema preserve non-hegemonic forms of language without assimilating them into dominant narratives?\n\nSituated at the intersection of Slavic and Sinology studies\, Limina proposes a comparative perspective in which marginality emerges as a critical site of resistance—political\, cultural\, and linguistic—capable of challenging boundaries between center and periphery\, voice and silence\, history and memory. \nThe seminar will be held in English \nOrganized within the framework of the degree programme in Languages for Intercultural and Business Communication and the MA program Languages for Business and Development\, with the support of the Confucius Classroom of Arezzo. \nLimina_concept \n
