      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>The overbearing affirmation of the body, with its instincts and impulses, and an effort aimed at suppressing that same push: this powerful dialectic deeply marks Beckett's works, and becomes a crucial reflection of the more general tension between a vain waiting for the end and the need to move forward. The close investigation of the texts suggests a special link with the thought of Arthur Schopenhauer, revealing in particular the contiguity between the concept of Noluntas and the search, by many of Beckett's characters, for “will-lessness”, a peculiar state of quiet and abstraction from reality. Starting from these observations, this study investigates the theme of the body within Beckett's poetics, especially in light of his relationship with the Schopenhauer's Will theory.</p>

        <p>L’affermarsi prepotente del corpo, con i suoi istinti e le sue pulsioni, e uno sforzo teso a sopprimere quella stessa spinta: questa potente dialettica segna in maniera profonda le opere di Beckett, e si fa cruciale riflesso della più generale tensione tra una vana attesa della fine e la necessità di andare avanti. L’indagine ravvicinata dei testi suggerisce uno speciale legame con il pensiero di Arthur Schopenhauer, rivelando in particolare la contiguità tra il concetto di noluntas e la ricerca, da parte di molti personaggi di Beckett, della ‘will-lessness’, un peculiare stato di quiete e astrazione dalla realtà. Partendo da tali osservazioni, questo studio indaga il tema del corpo all’interno della poetica di Beckett soprattutto alla luce del suo rapporto con la teoria della volontà schopenhaueriana.</p>
