How does Pinocchio imagine his future? In this article I try to imagine two Pinocchios – a Pinocchio1 Subject and a Pinocchio2 Anti-Subject – who have two opposite and perhaps complementary ideas of the future. Pinocchio1 envisions a future centered around education and diligent work, aspiring to achieve a heightened state of culture. Conversely, Pinocchio2, desiring to preserve a state of nature, foresees a future marked by inevitable demise. In both scenarios, the trajectory of the future is intricately woven into the fabric of the past and present, leaving little room for divergent possibilities. An alternative future emerges in the Russian remake of Aleksej Nikolaevič Tolstoj. Unlike Collodi’s Pinocchio1, who navigates a capitalist system rooted in individualism, in Tolstoj’s La chiavina d’oro (Golden Key) the Puppet seeks salvation together with his companions.

Abstract
How does Pinocchio imagine his future? In this article I try to imagine two Pinocchios – a Pinocchio1 Subject and a Pinocchio2 Anti-Subject – who have two opposite and perhaps complementary ideas of the future. Pinocchio1 envisions a future centered around education and diligent work, aspiring to achieve a heightened state of culture. Conversely, Pinocchio2, desiring to preserve a state of nature, foresees a future marked by inevitable demise. In both scenarios, the trajectory of the future is intricately woven into the fabric of the past and present, leaving little room for divergent possibilities. An alternative future emerges in the Russian remake of Aleksej Nikolaevič Tolstoj. Unlike Collodi’s Pinocchio1, who navigates a capitalist system rooted in individualism, in Tolstoj’s La chiavina d’oro (Golden Key) the Puppet seeks salvation together with his companions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
