This contribution addresses (also from an ethical perspective) the question of the relationship between humanity and nature in Ransmayr’s works, starting with his novel Der Fallmeister (2021). At the centre of this novel is in fact not only the waterfall as a flow of water, but also the fall (Fall) that in the author’s dystopian design involves, or rather disrupts, humanity. According to Ransmayr, individual identity is inseparably connected to participation in the original structure of a mit-Dasein. This is why history (of one’s own community, one’s own city, one’s own state, one’s own continent) is not only behind the scenes, but is also in front of our eyes and does concern us.
Il contributo affronta (anche in chiave etica) la questione del rapporto tra umanità e natura in Ransmayr, a partire dal suo romanzo Der Fallmeister (2021). Al centro di questo scritto è infatti non solo la cascata come flusso di acqua, ma anche la caduta (Fall), che nel disegno distopico dell’autore coinvolge, stravolge, l’umanità. Per Ran-smayr, l’identità individuale è inscindibilmente connessa alla partecipazione alla strut-tura originaria di un co-esserci. Per questo motivo la storia (della propria comunità, della propria città, del proprio stato, del proprio continente) non è solo dietro le quinte, ma è anche davanti ai nostri occhi. Ovvero: ci riguarda.

Abstract
This contribution addresses (also from an ethical perspective) the question of the relationship between humanity and nature in Ransmayr’s works, starting with his novel Der Fallmeister (2021). At the centre of this novel is in fact not only the waterfall as a flow of water, but also the fall (Fall) that in the author’s dystopian design involves, or rather disrupts, humanity. According to Ransmayr, individual identity is inseparably connected to participation in the original structure of a mit-Dasein. This is why history (of one’s own community, one’s own city, one’s own state, one’s own continent) is not only behind the scenes, but is also in front of our eyes and does concern us.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
