ARTICOLI / 8 / Riccardo Antoniani /
By focusing on Pasolini’s late ‘corsair’ journalistic production as well as the unfinished and posthumous novel Petrolio, the contribute investigates the Poet of Ashes legacy within the current Italian cultural and political discourse. The corpus of Pasolini’s intuitions on the early Seventies Italian society is here analysed from a nietzschean ‘unfashionable’ angle and corroborated with a number of recent juridical and journalistic findings. From such a perspective and by recurring to Schmitt’s notion of ‘irregularity’ and Agamben’s counter-dispositif of ‘minor biopolitic’, Pasolini’s extreme poetic of resistance together with its implicit performativity are presented in the light of Foucault’s paradigm of ‘cynic alethurgy’.
