Title of the project: " Mediating Illness: Narratives of Illness and Vulnerable Celebrities in Italian Audiovisual and Digital Media". To examine the narratives of illness produced by celebrities, also in relation to the narrative and visual tropes already established in audiovisual culture.

The project aims to investigate the processes through which traditional media, digital platforms, and fandom transform the celebrity’s body into a public archive of suffering, care, and transformation...Omissis.
