| Resumo: | The relationship between Dante and Radiohead has been intense and surprisingly long-lasting over the years: from the conceptual framework of OK Computer (1997) to the experimentalism of Amnesiac (2001), taking into account the motifs of Dolce Stil Novo in In Rainbows (2007). The investigation will attempt to retrace the imagination of the singer-songwriter within the literary land of the Florentine poet, exploring the thresholds and paratexts used to convey a modernization of the Comedy. An original interpretation of some of Radiohead's most acclaimed works, including 2+2=5 (The Lukewarm - The Ignavi) and Pyramid Song, will reveal the depth - also philological and intertextual - of this cultural operation that ranges from the social commitment of the Supreme Poet to a superhuman journey to Heaven "in a small rowboat" through a special guide that leads to Love itself. |
