Bibliographic review on childhood and adolescence 4/11 - Teenagers and writing about themselves

The reading path in this issue of the Rassegna bibliografica, edited by Duccio Demetrio, focuses on the fundamental role that self-writing can play in adolescence, both in its more 'traditional' forms, within institutions and in regulated contexts such as schools, and in its freer and more spontaneous forms, in particular in the new forms of online writing, which should be recognised as being useful for the purposes of reflection on oneself, on the world and on one's relationship with reality.

The filmographic journey analyses the relationship between cinema and writing. The second part of the article explores those hybrid territories in which the boundaries between professional and amateur filmmaking, private life and work, the desire for intimacy and the urge to socialise, the tension towards experimentation and the exploration of everyday life form fertile territory for autobiographical writing in documentary form.
