The contribution outlines the utopian dimension of the work and aesthetics of the German-Jewish-Swedish author Peter Weiss (1916-1982), focusing mainly on his "DC-Projekt", the plan of a political rewriting of Dantes' Divine Comedy for the modern stage (1960s). The contribution contends that the medieval poet, called "the truthsearcher" in the posthumous drama "Inferno", is the key figure of the author's utopian concern in his lifelong alternation of autobiographical, poetical and political issues.

The contribution outlines the utopian dimension of the work and aesthetics of the German-Jewish-Swedish author Peter Weiss (1916-1982), focusing mainly on his "DC-Projekt", the plan of a political rewriting of Dantes' Divine Comedy for the modern stage (1960s). The contribution contends that the medieval poet, called "the truthsearcher" in the posthumous drama "Inferno", is the key figure of the author's utopian concern in his lifelong alternation of autobiographical, poetical and political issues.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
