Astroculture and ufology

This article examines a new concept that has recently emerged from the contributions of the German historian Alexander C.T. Geppert, for whom a series of hetereogeneous cultural elements, but related to the Space Age, can be grouped into a single field of historical study, which he calls Astroculture.
