Introduction
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s own phrase ‘the scandal of self-contradiction’ (‘lo scandalo del contraddirmi’) from ‘Le ceneri di Gramsci’ (1957) encapsulates one of his most salient characteristics. Deeply influenced by a religious childhood, he became an atheist without loosing a powerful sense of the sacred; he was a Marxist expelled by the Italian Communist Party, a revolutionist with a great admiration for the past, a deeply anti-bourgeois bourgeois.
Keywords: Pasolini, Pier Paolo; Beyond Europe: Pasolini and the Western Heritage (Conference, German-Italian Centre for European Excellence, 2011); classical antiquity; Greek myths; afterlife (literary); reception; critique of capitalism; Eurocentrism, critique of Europe, founding myth; contradictory thinking; multistable figures
