  1. Aktive Passivität? : Spinoza in Pasolinis "Schweinestall"

    Der Aufsatz von Manuele Gragnolati und Christoph F. E. Holzhey "Aktive Passivität?" über Pier Pasolinis Theaterstück und seinen gleichnamigen Film "Schweinestall" (Italien 1969) setzt an der Auseinandersetzung von Julian, dem Protagonisten mit dem ihm im Traum erscheinenden Spinoza an. In dem Gespräch mit Julian, das im Film nicht vorkommt, diesem jedoch zugrunde liegt, tritt Spinoza zunächst als eben jener rationalistische Philosoph auf, der für den bürgerlichen Rationalismus verantwortlich ist. In ihrer Lektüre zeigen Gragnolati und Holzhey, dass Pasolinis Auslegung von Spinozas Philosophie schließlich darin mündet, dass sie Julian ermutigt, sich seinen Affekten hinzugeben, die ihn zu den Schweinen ziehen, um sich von ihnen verschlingen zu lassen. Damit entwickelt Pasolini in seiner subtilen Abschwörung von Spinoza, wie Gragnolati und Holzhey argumentieren, avant la lettre eine queere Kunst des Scheiterns, in der Julian eine mögliche Form des Protestes und der Möglichkeit darstellt, sich der Teilhabe an der Macht zu entziehen.

    Manuele Gragnolati's paper 'Analogy and Difference: Multistable Figures in Pasolini's "Appunti per un'Orestiade africana"' discusses Pasolini's preference for the figure of contradiction and his opposition to Hegelian dialectics by exploring his attempt to look at Africa's process of modernization and democratization in the 1960s as analogous to the synthetic transformation of the Furies into Eumenides at the end of Aeschylus's trilogy. Gragnolati shows that Pasolini is aware of the dangers of analogy, which risks imposing the author's or filmmaker's symbolic order onto that of the 'other' represented in the text or film, and he argues that Pasolini seeks to deal with this danger by constantly shifting back and forth between differing positions. "Appunti per un'Orestiade africana" can thereby be thought as a multistable figure that is left suspended and not only resists synthesis, but also problematizes its own feasibility and challenges its own legitimacy.

  3. Beginnings : constituting wholes, haunting, plasticity

    Wholes are said to be more than the sum of their parts. This 'more' contains both a promise and a threat. When different elements - which might be individuals, cultures, disciplines, or methods - form a whole, they not only join forces but also generate a surplus from which the parts can benefit. Being part of a whole is a way to acquire meaning and to extend beyond one's limited existence; and having a part in the whole is to have an enlarged agency. But wholes are also more powerful than the sum of their parts. Wholes constitute their parts: they determine what is a part and what is apart, what can become a part, and which parts have no part. Even if parts therefore may not be said to pre-exist a whole, there may still be something in them that exceeds being a part - if only the possibility of being part of a different whole.

  4. Differently queer : temporality, aesthetics, and sexuality in Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Petrolio" and Elsa Morante's "Aracoeli"

    The de-constitution of the 'I' is at the centre of Manuele Gragnolati's essay 'Differently Queer: Temporality, Aesthetics, and Sexuality in Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Petrolio" and Elsa Morante's "Aracoeli"'. The essay explores the relationship between temporality, aesthetics, and sexuality in the final novels of two twentieth-century Italian authors: Pasolini's "Petrolio" (1972–75) and Morante's "Aracoeli" (1982). Both novels mobilize a form of temporality that resists a sense of linear and teleological development and that instead appears contorted, inverted, and suspended. The article argues that both novels thereby allow for the articulation of queer desires and pleasures that cannot be inscribed in normative logics of completion, progression, or productivity. It shows how the aesthetics of Pasolini's and Morante's texts replicate the movement of queer subjectivity and dismantle the traditional structure of the novel but do so differently. The fractured and dilated movement of "Petrolio's" textuality corresponds to a post-Oedipal and fully formed subject who is haunted by his complicity with bourgeois power and wants to shatter and annihilate himself by replicating the paradoxical pleasure of non-domesticated sexuality. "Aracoeli", by contrast, has a 'formless form' ('forma senza forma') that corresponds to the position of never completing the process of subject formation by adapting to the symbolic order. The poetic operation of Morante's novel consists in staging an interior journey, backwards along the traces of memory and the body and at the same time forward towards embracing the partiality and fluidity of an inter-subjectivity that is always in the process of becoming.

    The essays in this volume seek to understand manifold kinds of medieval openness that become visible when one refrains from modern assumptions, and are also interested in how articulations of openness in the Middle Ages often stand in creative tension with forms of closure and can even be empowered by them. The chapters highlight the complex relationship between author, work, and text, but also explore several, often paradoxical, ways in which medieval culture mobilizes forms, practices, and experiences of openness without having a single abstract concept for it.
