The essay proposes to consider the recurrence of the apocalyptic theme in Balestrini's work, in relation to the fabricated and unstoppable “movementist” nature of his action (textual, critical, and in the context of cultural organization). From an “antagonistic” point of view, the essay refers, among other things, to the L’orda d’oro (Golden Horde) season, and to the same editorial project behind the book (first published in 1988); and to the controversial experience of the review Quindici (1967-1969).
