Desiring narration: Pinocchio and the rebellion of the body without organs

The transmedial and infinite narrative of Pinocchio is intertwined with the matrix of the novel, namely the initial version released in the Giornale dei bambini in 1881, originally comprising fifteen chapters concluding with his hanging. Pinocchio embodies a series of contradictions that possess a profoundly historical and social nature; rather than resolving these contradictions, he continuously propels them forward, engaging them in a “disorganizing” pursuit that extends to the present day and is capable of interrogating and challenging our biopolitical condition.
