The central aim of this dissertation is to invalidate two long-standing misconceptions of Naples: first, that of a "failed" modern city that, owing to corrupt governments and to an undisciplined and ignorant masses, has lost the opportunity to seize its destiny; second, that of a "carnival-city" that has not contributed anything substantial to the advancement of empirical knowledge, with the exception of a sparse intellectual elite. Contrary to these misguided views, which are invariably predicated on false comparisons with Northern Italy and Northern Europe, this project takes as its point of departure the visions of four supremely cultivated "tourists"---the Germans Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Walter Benjamin, Alfred-Sohn Rethel, and the Northern Italian Pier Paolo Pasolini---whose descriptions of Naples not only display their deep appreciation of the chaotic immanence of the city, but also the effect the city has on their sense of self-awareness, and on the poetical-empirical sensibility they, in turn, bring to it.

520 $a The central aim of this dissertation is to invalidate two long-standing misconceptions of Naples: first, that of a "failed" modern city that, owing to corrupt governments and to an undisciplined and ignorant masses, has lost the opportunity to seize its destiny; second, that of a "carnival-city" that has not contributed anything substantial to the advancement of empirical knowledge, with the exception of a sparse intellectual elite. Contrary to these misguided views, which are invariably predicated on false comparisons with Northern Italy and Northern Europe, this project takes as its point of departure the visions of four supremely cultivated "tourists"---the Germans Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Walter Benjamin, Alfred-Sohn Rethel, and the Northern Italian Pier Paolo Pasolini---whose descriptions of Naples not only display their deep appreciation of the chaotic immanence of the city, but also the effect the city has on their sense of self-awareness, and on the poetical-empirical sensibility they, in turn, bring to it.
520 $a My discussion pivots on four related perspectives: Goethe's morphology of Naples' ordered-chaos, Benjamin's physiognomy of the porous city, Sohn-Rethel's formulation of the Neapolitan technological ideal of the broken down, and Benjamin's and Pasolini's respective approaches to the city as cine-city. These theoretical indices reflect an order of knowledge in which restrictive dichotomies---such as theory and action, history and memory, the modern and the archaic, order and anarchy, and reason and imagination---entirely collapse. This implicit dissolution of dualistic codifications prompted me to examine these "foreign" tributes to Naples vis-a-vis the city's meta-historical horizon---that is, within a paradigm that emphasizes a coeval sense of time, a coextensive sense of space and a dialogical approach to discourse. To evaluate these correspondences, this dissertation scrutinizes Naples' topographical, ideological, ontological and psychic configuration through a methodological approach predicated on an idea of immanence supported by an interdisciplinary array of sources drawn from history, cultural studies, anthropology, psychoanalysis, critical, literary and cinematic theories. The central claim of this project is that Naples, in all its paradoxical complexity, provides an invaluable prism through which to reexamine the politics of seeing, reading and writing, and to reflect upon the ideological and ontological motives underpinning the production of knowledge, memory, narrative desire and imagination. This dissertation is supplemented by a video I made of Naples exploring some of these ideas from a slightly different key.
