Since the early 1970s, a slide in critical and theoretical attention to Fellini's work has corresponded to an assumption that his films are self-indulgent and lacking in political value. This volume moves the discussion towards a politics of signification, contending that Fellini's evolving self-reflexivity is not mere solipsism, but rather a critique of both aesthetics and signification. This lively and ambitious collection brings a new critical language to bear on Fellini's films, offering fresh insights into their underlying issues and meaning.
