BETWEEN DEFINITION AND LIMITS: THE CONCEPT OF NATURE IN CAMILE PAGLIA
Nature. Culture. Camille Paglia. Metaphysics. Politcs.
The present work aims to understand and analyze the concept of nature from the perspective of the philosopher Camille Paglia. The investigation and analysis will begin with the work Personas Sexualis (1992) and will continue with other works by the author such as Sex, Art and American Culture (1992); Vampes and Sluts and Provocations. This research has a qualitative character, adopting a historical-bibliographical methodology based on the nature theme that Camille Paglia deals with. Paglia seems to show us that his concept of nature is related to the Chthonic and to power and sex and it is from these relationships that the project will take place. Camile Paglia presents us with a way of seeing that is not perceived by some theorists and applies her concept to art, culture and mainly to carry out her analysis of gender relations. These are the questions that arise when we read his work and, in this project, we intend to work with these slippages and questions.
