During World War, and in the years before and after, a large number of art and literature is dedicated to the exaltation of conflict, its justification, its lament. This literature and this art is therefore in all strata of society: from sentimental series, tales and comic books, war stories of grand consumption or guidebooks of the battle field, to novels and poems of great authors; from popular cartoons to works by renowned artists. All have a common denominator: the terrible impoverishment of language, on the one hand, and the other, the conviction by some intellectual elites that there is nothing to say, in any case. In the world of imperfect nihilism that results from all this appears a great responsible factor: the avant-garde, that sees in war the performing of some of its fantasies, all related to the will of destruction.Downloads
