More about the book

One hundred years after the birth of Pier Paolo Pasolini, his oeuvre might best be described as "une pensée", as a meandering thought-provoking thought, to quote Jean-Luc Godard's exceptional comment on Pasolini in Histoire(s) du cinéma. Pasolini's 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 in 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.
