The essays in this book all share a common notion that a greater awareness of the potentiality of signification of sign functions is an indispensable tool for a more extensive understanding of how a film might signify-indeed, about how any text might signify. That said, I should state here at the outset that my use of the binomial extensive understanding is by no means evaluative; my only intention is to underscore that through semiotics and its various components of interpretation we can testify to the greater potentiality of signification that any text-e.g., cinematic, written, figurative-may produce with respect to a more conventional analytical process that, as well, does not take into consideration secondary or tertiary functions of the signs in question. -- from the Introduction In Signing Italian/American Cinema: A More Focused Look Anthony Tamburri means it. His new work employs the concentration of a neurosurgeon with the precision of a guided missile as he dissects, shatters and reexamines such films as the well-known and well-loved Big Night and not as well- known but equally beguiling Dinner Rush. Culture matters and his explanations of these films plus the classic Nuovomondo and the iconic Mean Streets makes you want to screen them a second and a third time. -- Richard Vetere, Playwright and film writer.Anthony Julian Tamburri's collection of essays about Italian American cinema will change the way you look at movies. Whether you study the form, teach cinema or watch for enjoyment, there is a rich garden of ideas in these essays that will challenge and delight you.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
