Un viaggio in india: L'odore di pasolini e L'idea di moravia

Öz

Pier Paolo Pasolini and Alberto Moravia contribute to the widespread and everlasting travel writing genre with two memorable reportages from India, respectively "The Scent of India" and "The Idea of India". India, through the writers' critical lenses, becomes the means for confrontation and reflection. Overpopulation, social stratification, cultural and religious heritage, pauperism and the sought progress are all key elements that play an extensive, dual role in fascinating and unsettling the Western travelers. The two Italian intellectuals, reporters and friends in this trip to the "cradle of the world" where past and present meet, interpret and present their experiences in two complementary ways: Pasolini plunges into the Third World country encountering the Other without social or emotional filters; whereas, Moravia approaches the Otherness and the Other with a more rational attitude. Deconstructing and decontextualizing their reality, Pasolini becomes the "traveler-character" and Moravia the "traveler-narrator". Their styles of writing reflect their approaches, "The Scent" becomes a "journey-itinerary" imbued with subjectivity and ''The Idea" a "journey-treatise" enriched with philosophical, religious and ideological considerations. This paper, after a concise definition of the key term "travel" and its accounts, provides some general observations about the India of those times and mainly concentrates on the analysis of the two books which convey a captivating but disquieting portrait of India in the 1960s.
