La mutazione antropologica Italiana: passaggio da una società arcaica e pura ad una società contaminata in Pier Paolo Pasolini
Abstract
Argues that in his writings as a poet and theoretician, Pier Paolo Pasolini deployed a critique of booming consumer capitalism in the Italy of 50s and 60s through a championing of the pre-industrial and archaic. The essay demonstrates that this theme is at the heart of Pasolini's 60s cinema in Comizi d’amore (1964), Teorema (1968), and Porcile (1969). [The text of this essay is in Italian.]
