In <em>Pasolini: The Sacred Flesh</em>, Stefania Benini examines his corporeal vision of the sacred, focusing on his immanent interpretation of the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation and the sacred flesh of Christ in both Passion and Death as the subproletarian flesh of the outcast at the margins of capitalism.</p><p>By investigating the many crucifixions within Pasolinis poems, novels, films, cinematic scripts and treatments, as well as his subversive hagiographies of criminal or crazed saints, Benini illuminates the radical politics embedded within Pasolinis adoption of Christian themes.
