Pasolini as Jew
Between Israel and Europe
Pasolini’s first turn beyond Europe can be dated to three lengthy journeys to Asia and Africa undertaken between December 1960 and February 1963. The places he visited quickly bring to mind a long series of subsequent projects – poems, screenplays, films realized or unfinished – from throughout the remaining fifteen years of Pasolini’s life, during which he pitched himself in a wholly new light as a poet of the Third World.
Keywords: Pasolini, Pier Paolo – Il vangelo secondo Matteo; Pasolini, Pier Paolo – Poesia in forma di rosa; Judaism; figures of speech; Europe; Israel; Paul, Saint; national socialism; concentration camps
