Abstract

This text aims to establish meaningful relationships between Escritos corsarios (1975) and “sketches and notes for a novel”, published posthumously in 1992 under the title of Petróleo. As an intellectual committed to a leftist thought, but also as a poet, filmmaker and creator, Pasolini produced a political-critical textuality of resistance to the implementation of global capitalism. This position is reflected in his manifold writing (poetry, essays, fiction and drama) with which he writes Petróleo. This novel elaborates aesthetically political imagination and cultural thought. This text plots languages of this writing to configure the significance of Pasolini as an intellectual and committed artist.
