Abstract
GROSSI, Bruno. The Ecstasy and the Project. Notes About the End of the World. Acta poét [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.2, pp.13-28. Epub Oct 12, 2020. ISSN 2448-735X. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2020.41.2.0002.
Faced with the impossibility of imagining the future, humanity projects in the images of the disaster the reasons, ideologies, fears and utopias that lives at in each period. That’s why the historical impotence to transform the world has become, in many authors, strangely literal: impossibility or reluctance to breed. This provision not only concerns the survival of the species, but it carries within itself the rebellion against the systematic coercion of desire. This work aims to follow these images (present in philosophical, literary and cinematographic texts) in order to unravel the dichotomy between the rational project of the State and the individual ecstasy self-dissolving.
Keywords : End of the world; Eroticism; State; Antinatalism; Utopia.
