Forme dell’inquisizione nel "Contesto" di Sciascia

The essay analyses Equal Danger, focusing especially on the first half of the novel, with a Foucaultian interpretation that seems peculiarly fitting for a writer like Sciascia – who could unmask like few others the biopolitical value of the exercise of power. Another focus of the analyses is the investigation carried out by Inspector Rogas who, on the basis of the dialogical approach of Simenon’s Maigret, highlights Sciascia’s intention of creating a ‘non inquisitive policeman’ character, an intent consistent with Sciascia’s ideas on the administration of justice.
