{"product_id":"the-resurrection-of-the-body-armando-maggi-9780226501345","title":"The Resurrection of the Body: Pier Paolo Pasolini from Saint Paul to Sade","description":"Italian novelist, poet, and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini was brutally killed in Rome in 1975, a macabre end to a career that often explored humanity's capacity for violence and cruelty. Along with the mystery of his murderer's identity, Pasolini left behind a controversial but acclaimed oeuvre as well as a final quartet of beguiling projects that signaled a radical change in his aesthetics and view of reality. \u003ci\u003eThe Resurrection of the Body\u003c\/i\u003e is an original and compelling interpretation of these final works: the screenplay \u003ci\u003eSaint Paul\u003c\/i\u003e, the scenario for \u003ci\u003ePorn-Theo-Colossal\u003c\/i\u003e, the immense and unfinished novel \u003ci\u003ePetrolio\u003c\/i\u003e, and his notorious final film, \u003ci\u003eSalò or the 120 Days of Sodom\u003c\/i\u003e, a disturbing adaptation of the writings of the Marquis de Sade. Together these works, Armando Maggi contends, reveal Pasolini's obsession with sodomy and its role within his apocalyptic view of Western society. One of the first studies to explore the ramifications of Pasolini's homosexuality, \u003ci\u003eThe Resurrection of the Body\u003c\/i\u003e also breaks new ground by putting his work into fruitful conversation with an array of other thinkers such as Freud, Strindberg, Swift, Henri Michaux, and Norman O. Brown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Armando Maggi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226501345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226501345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/17\/2009 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2009","brand":"Armando Maggi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086414688511,"sku":"9780226501345","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b78b479e-ae05-4ceb-999c-7d19b2d66190.jpg?v=1769094537","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-resurrection-of-the-body-armando-maggi-9780226501345","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
