Marylin Monroe : de l’idole à l’icône, l’enfance d’un regard

In this essay Marilyn Monroe: from idol to icon, infancy of a gaze, we focused on Pasolini’s cinematographic and poetical act. Particularly in la Rabbia where, linking the recurring pattern of infancy to death and beauty, he brings up the figure of Marylin Monroe. Setting out from the state of fascination for sublime images Pasolini calls up to describe the initial gesture of la Rabbia, we broke those patterns down into their connection to the Sacred, guided by a question: how fascination state unsets us from the mere objectivizing and idolatrous Seeing, bringing us into the iconic vision of the matter and the Archaïc breaking through it.
