Weathering the Afterlife

Nicolò Crisafi
Manuele Gragnolati

Abstract

The essay investigates the meteorological phenomena represented in Dante Alighieri’s Commedia and their interrelation with the subjectivity of the dead in Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Examining how the dead weather the afterlife and how the elements affect them, in turn, the essay takes the complex enantiosemy of the word ‘weathering’ as a conceptual guiding thread for the exploration of dynamics of exposure ( Inferno ), vulnerability ( Purgatorio ), and receptivity ( Paradiso ).
