| Guido Carlo Pigliasco, Guido Carlo Pigliasco, a native of Milano, received his J.D. from the University of Milano and his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Hawai'i where he lectures at the Department of Anthropology and at the Department of Languages and Literatures of Europe and the Americas. He has conducted research in Samoa, Hawai'i, Cook Islands, Papua New Guinea, Rapa Nui, Fiji and in the rural Italian milieu on the cultural property and commodification of ritual performances. He uses visual images and technologies in research and has combined academic with applied work. Taking after a bibliophile father --a pupil of Benedetto Croce-- and a mother whose literary talent was discovered by Dino Buzzati, he soon became a regular contributor with Italian newspapers, magazines and television, for which he has written ten film-documentaries on the Pacific region (R.T.I. Mediaset, 1992-1993). In 2000 he published Paradisi Inquieti (Torino: EDT), a collage of field notes deflating the touristic clichés associated with the iconic "South Seas" and unveiling the buried stories of the Italians in Oceania. A long-time member of the Friends of Italy Society of Hawai'i, he is the promoter and organizer of the Italian Cinema program at Manoa. |
