L’impianto mito-logico dei dialoghi «alla maniera di Luciano»: sistematicità, scomposizione e nuovi significati

Abstract

With the project of the Operette morali Leopardi intends to create a new repertoire of myths. By taking on different meanings, myths become a “cardinal point”, orienting the reader in the text through their underlying references. Beginning with the analysis of two of the most wellknown dialogues, this contribution examines the mythological and logical structure of the Operette by means of an anthropological perspective and focusing on post-apocalyptic suggestions.
