The aim of this article is to formulate a definition of the cosmicomic genre invented by Italo Calvino based on a phenomenological characterization of the narrative environment it presupposes. In keeping with the title of Calvino’s work, such environment will be called “comic cosmos”. It will appear that the comic cosmos is a type of impossible life-world constructed by merging the scientific description of reality with the environment of individual and collective human life. This characterization of the cosmicomic genre will also clarify why it can in no way be equated with science fiction.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to formulate a definition of the cosmicomic genre invented by Italo Calvino based on a phenomenological characterization of the narrative environment it presupposes. In keeping with the title of Calvino’s work, such environment will be called “comic cosmos”. It will appear that the comic cosmos is a type of impossible life-world constructed by merging the scientific description of reality with the environment of individual and collective human life. This characterization of the cosmicomic genre will also clarify why it can in no way be equated with science fiction.
