معرفی
Michele Fadda serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of the Arts at the University of Bologna, specializing in Cinema, Photography, Radio, Television and Digital Media (PEMM-01/B). His academic profile centers on contemporary film theory, historical analysis of cinematic movements, and interdisciplinary media studies, with particular emphasis on Italian and American cinema traditions. Based at Via Barberia 4 in Bologna, he maintains active teaching and research responsibilities within the university's arts faculty.
His research spans contemporary Italian cinema (especially Guadagnino and Sorrentino), American Depression-era film cartography, Woody Allen's narrative techniques, digital media convergence, and science fiction identity studies. He investigates how technological shifts transform cinematic language and distribution models, while examining intersections between film, literature, and visual culture. His work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with historical contexts, revealing patterns in narrative evolution and cultural reception across different eras.
Analysis of his publications shows a clear trajectory from historical film studies toward contemporary digital media analysis, with recurring themes of identity fluidity, technological disruption, and transnational distribution. His scholarship demonstrates methodological versatility, moving between close textual analysis, historical contextualization, and theoretical modeling of media convergence phenomena.
