| Summary: | This cross-disciplinary volume, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Framed and Unframed, explores and complicates our understanding of Pasolini today, probing notions of otherness in his works, his media image, and his legacy. Over forty years after his death Pier Paolo Pasolini continues to challenge and interest us, both in academic circles and in popular discourses. Today his films stand as lampposts of Italian cinematic production, his cinematic theories resonate broadly through academic circles, and his philosophical, essayistic and journalistic writings, albeit relatively sparsely translated into other languages, are still widely influential. Pasolini has also become an image, a mascot, a face on tote bags, a graffiti image on walls and an adjective (pasolinian). The collected essays push us to consider and reconsider Pasolini, a thinker for the twenty-first century. |
