Put politics, ethics and aesthetics in crisis

Saló or the 120 days of Sodom, by Pasolini | 1975

Université Paris 7

Abstract

This work psychoanalytically analyzes Pasolini’s posthumous film, inspired by the novel The 120 Days of Sodom, by the Marquis de Sade. The plot presents the increscendo of violence, which the Italian filmmaker sets in a completely different framework from the original. It is the end of the Second World War in Italy, during the Salo Republic, created by Mussolini in northern Italy between September 1943 and April 1945. From this scenario, the category of the unrepresentable Real is approached as Nazi death camps metaphor.

Keywords: Politics | Ethics | Aesthetics
