Intermedial Figures in Teorema

Main Article Content

Wolfgang Bongers

Abstract

Regarding the concepts of “intermediality” and “remediation”, this article wants to highlight and analyze the intermedial aesthetics in Pasolini´s work, especially some figures found in Teorema (book and film): the “anfibology” as modern versión of the Horacian formula ut pictura poiesis; the antiliterary form of the text; the “free indirect style” in literature and film; and on a thematic level of Teorema, the importance of arts and technical media as forms of mediation between bourgeois subjects and the world. On the other hand, these figures are articulated with Pasolini’s proposal of thinking cinema as “writing of reality” and they are part of his poetic-cinematographic and political-pedagogical project in search for the lost sacred in our neocapitalist societies.
