La distruzione dell'amore. Esilio e letteratura [The destruction of love. Exile and literature]

The aim of this paper is to investigate the connection between the political concepts of power and violence, and the concept of love in the literary and philosophical reflections, which Günther Anders carried on in Lieben, Gestern (1986). In particular, the paper intends to focus on the motif of the destruction of the love feeling in the society of the exiles, as the absence of love novel in 20. Century attests. The theses of Anders appear nowadays extremely topical, moreover if they are read in the scenario opened by the new studies about sentiments.
