This book foregrounds the works of Pier Paolo Pasolini to study the
Roman periphery and examine the relevance of Pasolini’s vision in
the construction of subaltern identity and experience. It analyses
the contemporary Italian society to understand the problem of
social exclusion of marginal communities. Narrative studies are at
the core of the contemporary social science research. This book
uses narrative analysis to unpack the deeper meaning of Rome’s
stigmatized periphery through an interplay of Italian cinema,
literature, and social and political climates. It encourages a
positive interpretation of the Roman periphery through its
characterization as a homogeneous area of marginality as emphasized
in Pasolini’s writings and films on Rome. This re-evaluation left
a lasting impact on the modern periphery and the narratives of
ordinary citizens as evident in contemporary street art and popular
musical production. Pasolini’s revolutionary vision allows us to
appreciate the human and aesthetic character of urban life in
regions beyond the main urban areas. The respect for subaltern
urban communities encouraged by this book can be extended from Rome
to other parts of the world. This book presents an interconnection
of social theory, geography, poetry, literature, film and the
visual arts to study the experience of life in underprivileged
urban areas. Written in an accessible style, the book offers a
reimagining of the Roman periphery which will appeal to readers in
France, Spain, Italy, Australia, areas which have significant
interest in Italian studies and the works of Pasolini.
