Fenomenologia dell'inconscio: il sogno come limen nella poetica di Luigi Pirandello

This abstract is about some of the philosophical, aesthetic and literary aspects of Luigi Pirandello’s style. I will follow two different paths: the analysis of the “dream” in Pirandello’s production (published and non published works), and the artistic and philosophical confluence of his production with expressionism. I have also considered such phenomenology from its sources to its following development. I have analysed several critical, literary, scientific and philosophical references, choosing among the immense amount of papers and treaties that have been written on Pirandello’s life and works. The nucleus of my dissertation is the role of the “dream” in Pirandello’s works. I will demonstrate that Pirandello uses the dream as a tool: his goal is not that of describing the dreams of his characters, but that of touching the subliminal areas of humanity in order to discover the “other” meanings of the very human soul. ..
