The aim of this paper is to examine the themes of death and mourning in the novels and plays written by Antonio Moresco (especially, Merda e luce and La santa). The focus will be on the relationship between the Anthropocene – the era of the human annihilation – and the absence of the grieving process. The loss of a loved one is usually followed by a funeral and various grief rituals but when the mass extinction will happen, who will celebrate the funeral of the whole humanity?

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the themes of death and mourning in the novels and plays written by Antonio Moresco (especially, Merda e luce and La santa). The focus will be on the relationship between the Anthropocene – the era of the human annihilation – and the absence of the grieving process. The loss of a loved one is usually followed by a funeral and various grief rituals but when the mass extinction will happen, who will celebrate the funeral of the whole humanity?
