Abstract
In the present work it is suggested that Roberto Bolaño’s A Little Lumpen Novelita and its cinematographic transposition, Alicia Scherson’s Il Futuro, actualize elements from Pier Paolo Pasolini’s The Cinema of Poetry. Even though Bolaño and Scherson both deconstruct the Pasolinian opposition between “the language of poetry” and “the language of prose” through the hybridization of genres, they agree with the Italian filmmaker when it comes to rejecting the standardization of the narrative forms. This phenomenon is characterized by the prevalence of informative, linear and transparent narrative accounts both in film and in literature. It is thus argued that the categories of “cinema of poetry” and “cinema of prose” do not describe a structural dichotomy, but rather a political one.
