“Ciò che realmente una cosa è”. Il montaggio della vita secondo Pasolini

The full significance of phenomenological experience was a favourite subject for Pasolini, who declined it in terms of 'Reality as Language'. Another semiotic theme of Pasolini, as a theorist of cinema, was the idea of individual existence as sequence shot, to which the editing operation constituted by death gives order and sense. The article, based on Fabbri, Peirce and Ricœur, suggests an interpretation of that idea in the direction of the narrative constitution of the personal identity – as an effect of final subjectivity.
