Abstract
This essay considers Bersani and Dutoit’s alignment of passivity and the aesthetic in “Merde Alors,” their essay on Pier Paolo Pasolini’s film Salò. Passivity is a key strategy for the production of works of art and is key to understanding the mode of the aesthetic itself. The question of passivity appears elsewhere in Bersani’s work, and “Merde Alors”—in whole or in part—was republished at key moments in Bersani’s career. This essay gestures toward why “Merde Alors” has had such an interesting and prolific afterlife.
期刊介绍：
differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies first appeared in 1989 at the moment of a critical encounter—a head-on collision, one might say—of theories of difference (primarily Continental) and the politics of diversity (primarily American). In the ensuing years, the journal has established a critical forum where the problematic of differences is explored in texts ranging from the literary and the visual to the political and social. differences highlights theoretical debates across the disciplines that address the ways concepts and categories of difference—notably but not exclusively gender—operate within culture.
