- W2474785197 abstract "In Canto xxvi of the Purgatorio, Dante watches in amazement as a band of (literally) flaming faggots passes by. He recognises them not by any particular mannerism or stigma, but by their two distinct ways of communication. Among themselves their language is physical: they are constantly kissing one another, in brief signs of greeting as chaste as the embraces of angels, yet as suggestive as any sinful gesture can be. This sensual language of solidarity reminds Dante of how, by promiscuous contact of antennae, a community of ants will disseminate vital information in a manner private to itself: così per entro loro schiera bruna s’ammusa l’una con l’altra formica, forse ad espiar lor via e lor fortuna. (ll. 34–6) (Thus within their brown ranks/One ant toys with another,/Perhaps to determine their way and their fortune.) For all its joyousness, this eloquent dalliance is a very serious pastime. The French might call it jouissance, a kind of sexually aware fore-and-aft-play of the intellect. That Dante seems to trivialise this exchange as mutual amusement need not trouble us here, since it usefully underlines the fact that their priorities are not his, and that he is not included in their discourse. As a heterosexual observer, he is an outsider to outsiders.KeywordsPenguin BookPenised CreatureSensual LanguageCollect PoemConcise Oxford DictionaryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
