"Poet, novelist, dramatist, polemicist, and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini continues
to be one of the most influential intellectuals of post-war Italy. In Pasolini: The
Sacred Flesh, Stefania Benini examines his corporeal vision of the sacred, focusing
on his immanent interpretation of the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation and the
"sacred flesh" of Christ in both Passion and Death as the subproletarian flesh of
the outcast at the margins of capitalism. By investigating the many crucifixions within
Pasolini's poems, novels, films, cinematic scripts and treatments, as well as his
subversive hagiographies of criminal or crazed saints, Benini illuminates the radical
politics embedded within Pasolini's adoption of Christian themes. Drawing on the work
of theorists such as Ernesto De Martino, Mircea Eliade, Jean-Luc Nancy, Alain Badiou,
Giorgio Agamben, and Slavoj Žižek, she shows how Pasolini's meditation on the disappearance
of the sacred in our times and its return as a haunting revenant, a threatening disruption
of capitalist society, foreshadows current debates on the status of the sacred in
our postmodern world."--Publisher's description
