Why would we rather leave the cannoli and take the gun? Do we truly want Scarface's Tony Montana to succeed? Is Michael Corleone a misunderstood hero or a despicable villain? Roberto Dainotto traces the complex and fascinating development of the Mafia: its rural beginnings in Western Sicily; its growth into what has been aptly described as a global multinational of crime; and its parallel evolution in music, print and on the big screen. The book probes the tension between the real Mafia - its brutal and often violent reality - and how we imagine it to be: a mythical assembly of codes of honour, family values and chivalric masochism. Rather than dismissing such Mafia stereotypes as untrue, Dainotto sets out to understand what needs and desires, material and psychic longings, are satisfied by our Mafia fantasies. Exploring the rich array of films, books, television, music and even video games portraying and inspired by the Mafia, this book offers not only a social, economic and political history of the Mafia but a new way of understanding our enduring fascination with what lurks behind the sinister omerta of the family business Geschichte gnd Mafia (DE-588)4036926-2 gnd Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 gnd Organized crime Mafia in motion pictures Mafia in literature Mafia in literature fast Mafia in motion pictures fast Organized crime fast wg SzZuIDS BS/BE IDSBB 100 1- Dainotto Roberto M. 1962- (DE-588)141369191 Verfasser aut SWISSBIB 357768116 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSBB A125 A125 125F2 UBW_MS_3700 9 IDSBB B400 B400 400J5 BeM RFA 59541 NELB4001607 IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 B400 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006484944/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis
