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