Università Roma Tre

“Vuoti di memoria” (“Voids of Memory”) is a TV program conceived by Loredana Rotondo in the early 2000s to bring attention back to some figures either forgotten or slipped to the margins of public discourse. Over the course of several years, 20 episodes of about 35 minutes each were produced. These documentaries are built primarily on both visual and textual sources, and on interviews aiming to situate the protagonists within their network of relationships.
Ten episodes were selected for the workshop, dedicated to the following figures:
Carla Lonzi
Giuseppe De Santis
Paola Levi Montalcini
Amelia Rosselli
Goliarda Sapienza
Bruno Munari
Cristina Campo
Annibale Ruccello
Gino Martinoli
Danilo Dolci
The workshop is organized in a series of meetings centered on the screening of documentaries and their analysis. It intends to deepen practices related to the use of visual, textual and oral sources, fundamental to the work of historical reconstruction. The workshop is curated by Professors Laura Fortini, Laura Iamurri and Manfredi Merluzzi.

The ten documentaries of the series “Vuoti di memoria” will be available on the Teche Rai. Focused readings will be made available on the e-learning platform of the Department of Humanities.
