Abstract

Among all different literary and cinematographic activities developed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, his work in newspapers gained great importance with the general public and the critics because of the political intervention it represented. The purpose of this thesis is to search for means to comprehend the intellectual journey made by the Italian writer when he has written for big mass medias. The first step was related to writing reviews about his articles published during the 1960s in smaller journals and then a deeper and reflexive analysis of corsarismo was made. Corsarismo is a designation extracted from the book Scritti corsari (1975), which gathers many texts published in big newspapers, such as Corriere della Sera. These articles were written to denounce the domination of a certain bourgeois way of life to the detriment of other social and cultural manifestations in Italy after Second World War and its consequent economical improvements. Our main goal is to think of what has been this corsair moment in Pasolini¿s work and in which way his stylistic choices became part of a very particular way of writing essays (AU)
