Immagini di una apocalisse possibile. Dinamiche della paura nell’immaginario dell’invisibile

Abstract

Until a few months ago the relation human/environment was a privileged theme for fiction and non-fiction imaginary, and had as core risks related to incumbent ecological catastrophe and/or humanitarian disasters – both seen as late capitalism effects. Today, meanwhile we are writing, the diffusion of SARS CoV-2 pandemic and the “winds of war” blowing from East Europe are putting in the background these themes, that now lay behind sanitary emergency. These not are disappeared at all: even the epidemic spreads finally are an effect of globalization. We can try to look for narrations in recent past based on molds to which we can look to try ideas in order to make sense to this new emergency.
