Book Synopsis
One hundred years after the birth of Pier Paolo Pasolini, his oeuvre might best be described as une pensee, as a meandering thought-provoking thought, to quote Jean-Luc Godard's exceptional comment on Pasolini in Histoire(s) du cinema. Pasolini scholarship has certainly increased in recent years, but mainly from the perspective of Italian Studies and with a particular focus on his poetry, prose and film. The proposed volume instead highlights the interest of his work for the history of twentieth-century philosophy. It therefore compiles key writings by philosophers who are relatively unknown even within the context of contemporary French and Italian thought. By collecting little known or newly translated essays from these philosophers, the volume aims to foster a contemporary discussion about the (in-)actuality of Pasolini's work.
