Time: 1 min read

Elizabeth Leake, Tex Willer. Un cowboy nell’Italia del dopoguerra, Bologna, Il Mulino, 2018.

Professor of Italian Studies at Columbia University, Elizabeth Leake offers her readers a fascinating exploration of Tex Willer: one of the most widely read Italian comic book heroes. In Tex Willer. Un cowboy nell’Italia del dopoguerra she enlightens us as to how much this pop-culture character embodied and shaped Italian (masculine) identity in the aftermath of World War II.
In conversation with Valentina Frasisti, a PhD student at Harvard, she shares her enthusiasm for this new research and discusses some of its challenges and most exciting aspects.

Italian Studies at Harvard

Harvard non è solo l’università più ricca del pianeta e quella in cui si forma la futura classe dirigente americana. È anche un luogo dove si immagina una società migliore e si cercano i mezzi per realizzarla. Fra questi mezzi, la cultura, e specificamente la cultura italiana, troppo spesso trascurata o tradita in patria e che invece costituisce un patrimonio straordinario, capace di indurre bellezza e innovazione. Un patrimonio da proteggere, esplorare, esportare. Per questo collaboriamo a questa rubrica -- studenti, dottorandi e docenti, americani e italiani, convinti che l'arte e il pensiero siano indispensabili per cambiare e salvare il mondo. Not only is Harvard the wealthiest university in the world, it is also an institution that molds future generations of American leaders. Not only is it a space devoted to imagining a better society, but also to forging the tools to realize it. Tools are forged from resources, and Italian culture represents an extraordinary patrimony capable of embodying beauty and inspiring innovation. It is for this reason that we collaborate on this column – graduate students, undergraduates and professors, Americans and Italians, all convinced that art and thought are powerful and indispensable means of saving the world.
