Alessandro Baricco: A Modern Homer / Alessandro Baricco: Omero Modern, Whitney Losapio
Honors Scholar Theses
Alessandro Baricco is an Italian author, pianist, journalist and music critic, among a wide range of many other talents.

I thus investigate how the representation of gender roles is impacted by the changes brought forward by modernity, and discuss whether Neera’s formal (photographic) choice succeeds in opening a different narrative and ideological space.
