Script-writing as Art Practice; The Unmade Film 'St Paul' by Pier Paolo Pasolini as the Heart of a New Trilogy.

我的跨学科研究涵盖了剧本创作和哲学分析。我认为，皮埃尔·保罗·帕索里尼的《圣保罗》（1977）的未拍摄剧本是连接《马太福音》（1964）和《索多玛120天》（1975）的概念纽带，构成了帕索里尼作品中此前未被发现的三部曲，因此是对知识的原创贡献。我认为它们在主题上与叙事，弥赛亚时间，凯洛斯，天启和末世论的概念联系在一起，而圣保罗的形象在哲学和神学上都是这种理解的核心。乔治·阿甘本最近的哲学著作将为这项研究提供基本的概念基础，并得到沃尔特·本雅明和雅各布·陶布斯的进一步支持，他们都是理解阿甘本作品的核心。一篇关于保罗激进的凯洛斯概念及其对帕索里尼电影的影响的理论文本将与一篇基于文本的原创作品合作，这是帕索里尼为“圣保罗”改编的剧本。以传统电影剧本的形式写成，这部新作品将利用阿甘本哲学的固有概念和当前的艺术写作形式。在历史定义的保罗末世和天启的概念中，这篇文章将得到发展。运用帕索里尼和阿甘本思想中固有的翻译和改编方法，博士基于实践的电影剧本将启示录时代置于当代语境中。以实践为基础的博士课程将努力准确而富有想象力地描述具有历史先例的当代情况。一个社会开始考虑末世时刻，以及远离它的必要性。

My interdisciplinary research spans scriptwriting and philosophical analysis. I propose that the un-filmed script for 'St Paul' (1977) by Pier Paolo Pasolini is the conceptual hinge that links together 'The Gospel According to Matthew' (1964) and 'Salo, or 120 Days of Sodom' (1975), constituting a previously undiscovered trilogy in Pasolini's work, thereby an original contribution to knowledge. I will argue they are thematically linked by notions of narrative, messianic time, kairos, apocalypse and eschatology, with the figure of St Paul philosophically and theologically central to this understanding. The recent philosophic work of Giorgio Agamben will provide the primary conceptual underpinnings to the research, further supported by readings of Walter Benjamin and Jacob Taubes who are both central to an understanding of Agamben's work. A theoretical text on the radical Pauline notion of kairos and its implications for Pasolini's cinema will be partnered with an original text-based work, an adaptation of Pasolini's script for 'St Paul'. Written in the form of a traditional film script this new work will utilise concepts inherent to Agamben's philosophy and current forms of art writing. It is within the historically defined notion of Pauline eschaton and apocalypse that this piece of writing will be developed. Working with methods of translation and adaptation inherent to Pasolini's and Agamben's thought, the practice-based film script of the PhD situates apocalyptical time within a contemporary context. The practice-based elements of the PhD will work to describe accurately and then imaginatively a contemporary situation with historical precedent. That of a society starting to consider an eschatological moment, and the necessity to move away from it.
