Pilade de Pier Paolo Pasolini y su resignificación de la Orestíada en la contemporaneidad

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the play Pilade, written by Pier Paolo Pasolini, and its intertextual connection with the Oresteia by Aeschylus. The approach will focus on the re-reading of characteristic notions of Greek tragedy in contemporaneity and on the various manifestations of the oneiric aspect. It will also focus on the identification of mythological beings in the construction of the characters. Finally, the Greek city of Argos and the Italian society of the sixties will be comparatively studied based on a critical consideration of the incipient neocapitalism.
