Le cose e le immagini

Davide Luglio

Résumé

The essay intends to explore the relationship between image and reality in Pasolini's thought starting from a comparison with other theoretical proposals that influenced him, in particular, those of André Bazin and Roland Barthes. For these French critics, as for the Italian filmmaker, the cinematographic image has the capacity to reveal the expressive nature of reality, that is, its irreducibility to a conventional code and meaning. The revelation of the expressive nature of reality occurs in the cinematic work through a process that Pasolini calls “transubstantiation” and that is part of his "philosophy of cinema". Starting from Appunti per un'Orestiade africana (Notes for an African Orestiad), the essay aims to illustrate the mechanism of semantic transubstantiation and its function of semiological highlighting of the expressive nature of reality. This operation, which can be traced back to what Pasolini calls a "semiology of reality", pursues a political aim, which, following Deleuze, we can define as an attempt not so much to represent reality as to restore the possibility of believing in reality.
