Abstract
-
Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922) ed Ezra Pound (1885-1972): paesaggi culturali a confronto tra 1968 e 1975 is a Comparative Literature PhD dissertation dedicated to the concept of cultural landscape according to the late work of Pier Paolo Pasolini and Ezra Pound, from 1968 to 1975. Both in Pound's and Pasolini's poetics nature and culture are understood as fundamentally connected: it is actually through an harmonic continuity of such a link that different human values, ethics, languages and idioms can be preserved. The risk implied by modernity, for both Pound and Pasolini, is that of a misunderstanding of technology, leading to an irreparable loss in terms of cultural values and ethics. Techne has been considered connected with nature since the beginning of human history: for both Pound and Pasolini, it should be used and understood as a fully dominated instrument, not a dominant aggressive agent, both on nature and culture. The starting point of my analysis (Chapter 1) is the 1967 interview by Pasolini with Pound, for Italian TV (RAI), in which these themes---discussed among others---are specifically applied to Italy after WWII. The II Chapter contextualizes in a comparative analysis all the quotes Pasolini used from Pound's late Cantos in his last work: La nuova gioventu', Salo', Volgar'eloquio . The III and last Chapter is dedicated to the example of Canto 110 and---more generally---to Pound's utopic reading of Na-khi tribes rites and language, displaced from the far cultural landscapes of South West China, near Tibet, to his late Cantos. In appendix an interview (Rome 2000) with the Italian philosopher Antonio Negri reconsiders Pasolini's intellectual role during the 1960s and 1970s in Italy and specifically his own contributions to a constructing critique of modernity.
