DE LA PERVERSIÓN A LA PERPETRACIÓN: GÉNESIS, SADE, PASOLINI Y RAU

Monsell Corts, Juanjo (2020): “De la perversión a la perpetración: Génesis, Sade, Pasolini y Rau”, en: Kamchatka. Revista de análisis cultural, 15, 471-496

In the present article it is intended to perform an ontogenetic exploration in order to unravel all the meanings that the myth of Sodom has acquired in the subsequent fictional rewritings and the relationship that it has with the construction of literary and cinematographic figures characterized as perpetrators of mass violence and with historical spaces of perpetration such as the Konzentrationslager. The starting point of the analysis is the biblical passage of the destruction of the city of Sodom and the final point is the work of Milo Rau Die 120 Tage von Sodom (2017), produced from the narrative work of the Marquis de Sade Les Cent Vingt Journées de Sodome (1785) and from the film by Pier Paolo Pasolini Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975), works that arise at specific historical moments and are used to exemplify in a metaphorical way some of the events that take place in them.
