Il tarantismo in Sicilia. Declinazioni locali di un fenomeno culturale euromediterraneo
2016
The text examines published and unpublished materials – such as historical and ethnographic sources, archive records, and musical documents – which testify the presence of tarantism in Sicily from mid-17th century to the end of the 19th. The Sicilian case is then considered in a wider context of contributions on the theme, starting from the ‘classic’ De Martino’work, up to the debate on the interpretation of the phenomenon between the poles of exorcism and possession, chiefly rased by French ethnomusicologist Gilbert Rouget.

Incertezza, precarietà, capacità di immaginazione del futuro e modernità: un confronto tra Appadurai e De Martino
2017
Though apparently distanced for their temporal and historical moment, their conceptual terminology, their interlocutors and the fields of their empirical research, it is possible to get some notable parallelisms of theoretical vision between the anthropological work of De Martino and that of Appadurai. In both cases, their starting point is in fact the uncertainty of human condition and social orders, and at the heart of their theory, there stands the issue of identifying the different kinds of ethos and cultural activity which permit people to historically and existentially confront this uncertainty through establishing their belonging to a “cultural homeland” (De Martino) or forms of soci…
