Ideology in the 20th Century: studies of literary and social discourses and practices
demonstrates that fiction and eschatology, although inconceivable with-
out one another, are difficult to succeed in preserving the myth of possi-
ble renewal, because concord-fictions are not reliable and sufficient maps
of mines set on a broad and humpy field of life. The Sense of an Ending,
therefore, resembles the end, because the fictions are also the transversal
of our fatal, probable but not actual mistakes, mistakes that should clear
out and not freeze our understanding of the end.
