EnglishThe present paper aims at offering a reflection upon the specific link between a genre, the Western, and its literary and visual tradition, a powerful mythopoeic means capable of fostering a normalization of social reality itself. The Western represents the foundation of the law’s ability to make order out of chaos. Indeed, Westerns usually feature a solitary dominant hero, whose violent expressions are shown as positive, since violence is used for the elimination of the enemy, the re-establishment of order and the triumph of law. The most relevant legal issue of the Western is to be found in this monopoly of violence, allowed to a single hero by civil society in order to counter an illegal spiral of violence.

| Abstract: | The present paper aims at offering a reflection upon the specific link between a genre, the Western, and its literary and visual tradition, a powerful mythopoeic means capable of fostering a normalization of social reality itself. The Western represents the foundation of the law’s ability to make order out of chaos. Indeed, Westerns usually feature a solitary dominant hero, whose violent expressions are shown as positive, since violence is used for the elimination of the enemy, the re-establishment of order and the triumph of law. The most relevant legal issue of the Western is to be found in this monopoly of violence, allowed to a single hero by civil society in order to counter an illegal spiral of violence. | |
