Abstract

The paper aims to investigate the possibilities for the concept of “political author” as an effect of discourse to survive in contemporary cinema by analysing the case of Italian biopics of the new Millennium. After a proposal of definition of a political authoriality, the analyses of the films attempt to show how the articula- tion of such an authoriality in three different figures – the director, the actor, and the real model – and in subcategories defines a specific feature of biographical cinema, to eventually conclude with some remarks about the posthumous life of the authorial discourse after the “death of the author”, between politics and commitment.
