There is a dual tradition of the human relationship with insects: if, in fact, sometimes the latter are invisible, and their presence does not seem to affect human existence and society, in other cases, instead, they represent a real apocalyptic threat. The volume has two thematic sections - Literary Entomologies and Entomological Proliferation in the other arts: music, theatre, cinema and video games. While talking about insects, we also talk about writers in a new way, often discovering hitherto less considered or less known aspects of their poetics. The authors of the present volume explored: Dante, Boccaccio, Rucellai, Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia, Domenico Tempio, Guido Gozzano, Paola Masino, Carlo Emilio Gadda, Vincenza Caldarelli, Luciano Branciardi, Dino Buzzati, Italio Calvino, Mario Rigoni Stern, Franco Scaldati, Carlo Collodi e Jasmin Vardimon, Collasanti e Pier'Alli, Dario Argento, ranging from Medieval Literature to contemporary cinema to videogames, including also the most attractive aspects of the musical dimension.
