Italian Literature in the Nuclear Age

A Poetics of the Bystander

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Explores the notion of the bystander in the Nuclear Age by focusing on the Italian situation as a paradigmatic case. It re-frames Italy's mix of implication and powerlessness not only as a geopolitical question, but as a way to re-think the role of the side-lined intellectual in the face of mass extinction.
