Pier Paolo Pasolini, Framed and Unframed Summary

Pier Paolo Pasolini, Framed and Unframed: A Thinker for the Twenty-First Century by Luca Peretti (Ohio State University, USA)

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 40 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, an adjective (pasolinian). The collected essays push us to consider and reconsider Pasolini, a thinker for the twenty-first century.

Pier Paolo Pasolini, Framed and Unframed Reviews

A rich and timely collection of essays on late 20th-century Italy's most controversial poet, novelist, filmmaker and polemicist Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975). This volume bravely and deftly rejects the hagiography that often plagues 'Pasolini studies,' opening up his multivalent works to a long-overdue reassessment in line with urgent 21st-century questions, from climate change to the enduring racial regimes of western (neo)colonialism. * Rhiannon Noel Welch, Associate Professor of Italian and Cinema Studies, Rutgers University, USA *
So much has already been said and written about Pasolini but Peretti and Raizen's volume nevertheless succeeds admirably in opening up some genuinely new vistas on the life, work and relevance to our own times of this fascinating, if frustratingly contradictory, figure. * Gino Moliterno, Senior Lecturer, Film and New Media, The Australian National University, Australia *
