Abstract

Terminal Realism (TR) is an avant-garde movement founded in the literary-artistic field in 2010 by Guido Oldani, a contemporary Italian poet who aims to critically represent the globalised civilisation of the third millennium. In particular, TR presents itself as a movement of civil commitment. The Founding Manifesto is presented in 2010 and sets out the principles of poetics, the relationship of man with the object, the artificial versus the natural, the piling up of people and things, and pandemics. The poetry of the new millennium therefore expresses the artificial and the artefact using a new poetic language including: the stacking, the Inverted simile and the irony.
