“…The Italian author’s works of political and social criticism render him an important thinker of 20th-century industrial modernity (Ravetto-Biagioli, 2012; for an opposing reading, see Ferrarotti, 2006), yet he remains relatively unknown to researchers in the social sciences and urban studies (except for a few avant-garde works: Bortolini, 2012; Boukala & Laplantine, 2006; Colusso, Da Giau, & Villa, 1995; Gandy, 1996; Page, 1998; see also Agnew and Bolling, 1993). This relative disinterest may be attributable to the eccentric stance that Pasolini consistently adopted.…”

This article examines the potential contributions of Pasolinian anthropology to urban studies. Pasolinian anthropology aims to articulate a historical moment (i.e., the acceleration of the second industrial revolution in Italy between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s) with environmental and urban transformations. The authors sketch a portrait of Pasolini as a primitive theoretician who supported that which would become known as landscape urbanism. The authors mainly consult Pasolini’s journalistic writings published in two anthologies ( Lettere luterane, Scritti corsari) and an incomplete pedagogical manual ( Gennariello). The authors also refer to four of his documentary films ( Comizi d’amore, Appunti per un film sull’India, Appunti per un Orestiade Africana, and Pasolini e la forma della città) and tangentially to two of his novels ( Racconti romani and Petrolio) as well as to his correspondence and poems (particularly Gramsci’s Ashes).
