Abstract

The paper identifies and aesthetically analyzes the iconic and argumentative recurring presence of the desert in Pier Paolo Pasolini’s films. As a place of exposure of the origins of human integrity and its testing, Pasolini’s desert is proposed as an ontological site. In this analysis, the poetry and prose of the italian artist contribute to define aesthetic forms and functions of the desert in his cinematography.
