Sažetak
Italian South has been represented through the stereotypes of violence, economic underdevelopment, age-old traditions, isolation and poverty. For decades cinema and media have played a pivotal role in promoting an „exotic” image of the South. The notion of the “domestic Other” coming from the Italian South, is still discussed in Italian politics, sociology, cinema and media. However, neo-colonial representation of the South has changed in the last two decades ; new, young and local filmmakers (Salvatore Mereu, Edoardo Winspeare, Giovanni Columbu, Antonio Capuano and others) have started addressing present socio-political situation in Southern regions from a different point of view. The paper explores how and why the forceful rhetoric of North versus South has taken hold in Italy and how the notion of “margin” or “cultural border”, as the South is usually referred to, has been created and perpetuated through cinema and mass media.
