Description
Pier Paolo Pasolini: Performing Authorship explores the complex relationship between artistic expression and societal oppression. Gian Maria Annovi examines how Pier Paolo Pasolini's work, including his poetry, film, and writings, was used as a form of performance to challenge dominant norms. Through a close analysis of Pasolini's oeuvre, Annovi reveals how the author's use of multimedia platforms allowed him to subvert expectations and critique the cultural industry. By examining Pasolini's self-fashioning in films, paintings, and photographic portraits, Annovi shows how the author used his physical presence to address issues of identity and sexuality. This book offers a nuanced understanding of Pasolini's performance as a form of resistance against oppressive forces, and its relevance to contemporary radical artistic practices.
