This collective volume aims to highlight the philosophical and literary idea of apocalypse, within some key examples in the Slavic world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From Russian realism to avant-garde painting, from the classic fiction of the nineteenth century to twentieth-century philosophy, and not omitting theatre, cinema or music, there is a specific examination of the concepts of “end of history” and “end of present time“ as conditions for a redemptive image of the world. To understand this idea means to understand an essential part of Slavic culture, which, however divergent and variegated it may be in general, converges on this specific myth in a surprising manner.
Andrea Oppo is lecturer in aesthetics at the Pontifical Faculty of Theology of Sardinia, Italy. He is the author of Philosophical Aesthetics and Samuel Beckett, Estetiche del negativo. Studi su Dostoevskij, echov e Beckett, and of the essay "Black Holes. A Philosophical Question on Endgame's and Bartleby's Stalemates" in Samuel Beckett Today/Aujourd hui N 23.
