Ruth Glynn

Ruth Glynn’s Fellowship will be devoted to completion of a book chapter. The book addresses cultural representations of Naples and its relationship with the Italian nation-state, from the start of the Second Republic (the ‘Republic of the Cities’) to the present day. Her specific focus will be Chapter 2, which explores the nationalization of the ‘Neapolitan Renaissance’ of the 1990s in Italy’s first soap opera and critiques of the same in literary works of the early 2000s.
