Abstract

The chapter addresses the re-emergence of colonial narratives in the Italian media of the 1970s, in the wake of the so-called “sexual revolution” and the feminist movement. Specifically, it considers the trajectory of Ines Pellegrini, an Italo-Eritrean actress who collaborated with Pier Paolo Pasolini, and worked in arthouse cinema, as well as in prime-time television, and soft-core films. Through Pellegrini’s figure, the chapter analyses, from an intersectional perspective, the political and gendered discourses about sexuality and race circulating of the period.
