For Pisces season, student of cultural history and language Gabriella Higgins joins host Elly Higgins to discuss Italian filmmaker and poet Pier Paolo Pasolini. Pasolini was a gay, Catholic, Marxist who was committed to the preservation of Italian regional dialects. In our conversation, Gabriella provides critical context for understanding Pasolini in the cultural and political context of mid 20th-Century Italy. This bonus episode of the podcast dives deep into the relationship between regional dialects, culture, and language politics. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss the next episode of Star Gays which will dive deep into Pasolini's birth chart!
