Summary:

This volume compiles papers from the 6th Postgraduate International Conference organized by the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. The conference explored the concept of 'dialectical images' in times of crisis, examining the interplay between collapse and renewal in cultural, historical, and artistic contexts. Drawing on the works of thinkers like Ernesto De Martino and Walter Benjamin, contributors investigate themes of apocalypse, crisis, and transformation through diverse mediums such as art, literature, and media. The collection spans a wide chronological range, from the Middle Ages to contemporary times, and emphasizes the generative power of crises to inspire new symbolic formations and cultural expressions.
