Abstract

This monographic issue is framed by the research being carried out by the group GLiCiArt. Grup de Recerca sobre Literatura, Cinema i Altres Llenguatges Artístics at the Universitat de Barcelona, on the uses of literary theory in contemporary artistic creation and the circulation of its critical paradigms (http://www.ub.edu/gliciart/).

Our starting point, as indicted in the Call for Papers for this issue, was Pier Paolo Pasolini’s inclusion of an “essential bibliography” in the opening credits of his film Salò (1975), which does not include the The 120 Days of Sodom, or the School of Licentiousness (1785) by the Marquis de Sade, but rather Pierre Klossowski’s (1847), Maurice Blanchot’s (1949), Simone de Beauvoir’s (1955), Philippe Sollers’ (1968) and Roland Barthes’ (1971) studies on the work of the Marquis which the filmmaker incorporated, in a fragmented and self-interested way, in his cinematographic project, primarily in the formal and aesthetic planes.
