Apocalypse and Utopia in the Italian Novel (1945-1975)
The Graduate Studies Seminar at Villa la Pietra, NYU Florence, cordially invites you to a lecture by Florian Mussgnug, University College London on Tuesday, October 16 at 6:00 PM.
Inquiries into the cultural legacy of religion in modern secular life find an object of particular interest in nuclear-war literature of the cold-war period. Rarely, if ever, in the Twentieth Century were thoughts about temporality and eternity, reflections about the nature of evil, and expectations of universal justice as manifest as in the novels and films of the second half of the century. Secular doomsday novels of the atomic age, despite their focus on man-made apocalypse, are steeped in the dark language and violent symbolism of Revelation. Popular religious apocalypticism, with its heightened sense of expectation, stark visions of good and evil, and consistent emphasis on community and collective responsibility appeared to many like the only valid response to the terrible new responsibility that came with the capacity to wipe out life on earth. The atomic age, with its global experience of helplessness and fear of imminent doom, appeared to shift the emphasis away from the figure of the Self and towards the figure of a mysterious and threatening Other.

| Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee; take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of thy love; take my heart, it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne.
Hymn 707. Words: Francis Ridley Havergal (1836-1879), alt.
