Journal Article
The World Upside Down: From Dante's Hell to Present Times
2024
Overview
The metaphor of the world upside down centers on the condition of a community, a society, and/or the world at large, including the habitat of both humans and non-humans, in which such fundamental concepts as goodness, beauty, truth, unity, order, as well as related notions, are upended, turned around, reversed. Scholars face multiple challenges, not only understanding the world gone awry, but also illustrating the causes of its reversal to uncover its original positivity. Interested scholars are urged to contextualize their investigations within a well-defined theoretical framework to go beyond the confines of a specific literary work, historical event, man-made disaster as they describe the very harsh reality, past and ongoing, of the world gone awry, while also considering the possibilities of avoiding the ultimate catastrophe.
