DESCRIPTION:'Roberto Rossellini’s Un Pilota Ritorno: Ethics\, Realism\, 
 Propaganda' examines the ways in which Rossellini's 1942 film undercuts it
 s apparent propagandist aims by drawing on a wide range of cinematic genre
 s and by introducing marked shifts and contrasts in its structure. Indeed\
 , rather than serve fascist war aims\, "Un pilota ritorna" calls into ques
 tion various aspects of fascist policy\, granting primacy to ethics over p
 olitics\, and recognizing the importance of pluralism.\n\nProfessor Barans
 ki (Notre Dame Professor of Dante and Italian Studies and Emeritus Serena 
 Professor of Italian\, University of Cambridge)is among the world's leadin
 g authorities on Dante\, medieval Italian literature\, medieval poetics\, 
 and modern Italian literature\, film\, and culture. His publications inclu

 heodore Cachey. Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press\, 2009)\; "Chio
