| Summary: | The present essay presents some connections that can be established between the thought of Pier Paolo Pasolini and the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben. From the problem of how the director Pasolini think and exposes the face in his movies, it intents to show that this preoccupation has to do with an ethical and a political dimension. In the sequence, it intents to exhibit how this dimension can also be found in the reflections of Agamben. Therefore, it investigates some Pasolini’s influences in the manner how Agamben think the question of the face. It establishes means to think the pertinence of the approach, with the due nuances, of the idea of nostalgia in Pasolini and the idea of archeology in Agamben. At least, it intends to show how both of them take the implication of the human living in language as a condemnation that however can be an overture to a hopelessness as a line of flight of the tragedy. |
