This work explores the transnational dialogue between Italy and Germany through literature, film, and media, focusing on self and other images in philosophy, literature, and historiography. It delves into themes of Italian identity, examining how perceptions of Italianità manifest in various contexts. Contributions analyze the portrayal of Italian soldiers in German discourse, the impact of (anti-)fascism in post-war culture across Italy, the BRD, DDR, and Austria, and the representation of guest workers in contemporary German literature. The text also addresses migration narratives, language, and identity, highlighting works like Mario Fortunato's "Immigrato" and the evolving identity of the "nuovi italiani" in current adolescent novels. It further investigates surreal identity construction in Vinicio Capossela's "Il paese dei coppoloni" and the nomadic literature of Jhumpa Lahiri. The discussion extends to new Italian images in literature and film, analyzing works that depict cultural clashes and migration through various cinematic lenses. The volume concludes with reflections on future Italian-German perspectives in film, research, and education, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of these dialogues.
