The Chronotope of the Road as an Interstitial Space for the Development of a Common Anthropocenic Consciousness.

The aim of this article is to explore how an anthropocenic consciousness capable of restoring a sense of planetary community emerges through an unusual experience of the (non-)place of the road. Reading some selected extracts from the novels of Pecoraro, Trevisan and Vinci, it is possible to understand how the analysis of a situation of individual depression can lead to a reflection on the general condition of the human being in post-capitalist society.
