No full textThis introduction contextualizes Stella do Patrocínio’s life (1941–1992) and her subversive falatório within Brazil’s violent psychiatric-colonial system.

Pasolini et Stendhal, de Bologne à Rome:Étapes d’une cristallisation romanesque
No full textEn partant de l’analyse d’une lettre inédite que Pasolini avait adressée à Stendhal, et qu’il voulait utiliser comme la préface-dédicace de son premier roman, cet essai propose un parcours stendhalien dans l’évolution de l’œuvre romanesque de Pasolini. Ce parcours suit les étapes de la cristallisation amoureuse, telles que Stendhal les avait représentées par le dessin d’un voyage de Bologne à Rome. Pour les deux écrivains, le départ de Bologne est la scène originaire d’un échec amoureux et romanesque. La dernière étape de ce voyage, à Rome, est marquée par les lectures critiques de Roland Barthes et Leonardo Sciascia
Pasolini e lo strutturalismo (francese)
No full textIl saggio analizza la complessa relazione tra Pier Paolo Pasolini e lo strutturalismo francese, inteso non come appartenenza teorica o poetica, ma come polo di tensione dialettica. Al centro dell’indagine vi è il confronto critico tra la riflessione pasoliniana sul linguaggio e i metodi dello strutturalismo francese, con particolare attenzione alle proposte teoriche antireferenzialiste provenienti dalla Francia e facenti capo soprattutto a Barthes. A partire dalla ripresa degli studi di Hjelmslev il saggio mostra come Pasolini tenti una sintesi tra strutturalismo e marxismo, fondata sulla centralità dell’elemento concreto nella semiosi

Divining The Undivine Comedy:Reflections and Recollections
No full textMy chapter has three intertwined aims: (i) to assess the significance and originality of The Undivine Comedy and counter the (often) partial and erroneous ways in which Dantists have referred to and made use of the book; (ii) to demonstrate Barolini’s intellectually and critically independent standing as a scholar of Dante in international terms; and (iii) to give examples of how The Undivine Comedy has influenced my research and thinking on Dante, while reflecting on my friendship with Teo that now spans nearly forty years
Ovidio senza Dio:Ovidian Myth and Sexual Violence in the <i>Commedia</i>
No full textThis essay examines medieval reader responses to representations of sexual violence in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Focusing in particular on the myth of Salmacis and Hermaphroditus, I illustrate Dante’s different, ‘detheologized’ reading approach in respect to medieval commentaries on the Metamorphoses. While medieval commentators gloss over rape and sexual assault, focusing instead on the myth’s moral meanings, in the Commedia Dante directly confronts the sexual violence prevalent in Ovid’s poem
Heavenly Paradoxes and Their Pleasures
No full textThis chapter discusses how The Undivine Comedy unveils an unexpected appreciation of alterity in Paradiso, which mobilizes a paradoxical coexistence of unity and difference by combining narrative and lyrical modes and ending with a ‘jumping textuality’ that conveys the heavenly totum simul. In dialogue with feminist and queer scholars, in particular Julia Kristeva and Leo Bersani, it argues that this textuality replicates the paradoxical pleasure not only of losing but also of finding oneself
Breaking and Making Models
No full textPractically anything can be a model of or for something else. What characterizes models is rather their specific reductive relationality, which often promotes understanding but is always generative rather than merely representational. The essays in Breaking and Making Models engage with the normative and performative qualities of models, their aesthetic and political dimensions, and their world-making potentials. Bringing such perspectives into a broad interdisciplinary dialogue, this book explores ways to work creatively with models.Introduction | CHRISTOPH F. E.
