Rituales, descentramientos territoriales y niveles de identidad: La Semana Santa Marinera de Valencia
2011
The aim of this paper is to study how the processes of spatial and identity recomposition brought about by a globalized world affect traditional religious rituals, with particular reference to the <i>Semana Santa Marinera</i> processions in Valencia (Spain). Instead of the ritual giving rise to a single local identity, it can be seen that levels of local identity —while not disappearing— overlap more and more with increasingly vague new territorialities ranging from processional networks based on canon law to state-organized meetings. Media coverage of the ritual means that new virtual communities with no fixed territorial base are created, and the complexity of this phenomenon …
Stratificazioni storiche del simbolismo rituale della Settimana Santa in Sicilia
2017
I temi della continuità culturale, della diffusione e della “sopravvivenza” del simbolismo rituale sono stati al centro del dibattito antropologico e storico-religioso. Ritornano oggi d’attualità in relazione alla questione della patrimonializzazione dei beni immateriali, delle feste religiose “tradizionali” come, appunto, la Settimana Santa. Possiamo e dobbiamo ritorna-re a chiederci: le testimonianze materiali e immateriali del passato, anche il più remoto, posso-no aiutarci a comprendere ciò che osserviamo declinarsi negli attuali contesti festivi e, di con-verso, le odierne o appena trascorse espressioni del folklore possono contribuire a chiarire il senso di storie e di riti assai più …
Un indeclinable deseo de fiesta: expresiones de la religiosidad popular en Sicilia en tiempo de pandemia
2022
Sicily is a land of deep religious traditions linked to popular Catholicism. In the winter of 2020, the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic prompted the Italian government to adopt "Urgent measures for the containment and management of the epidemiological emergency due to COVID-19", to control the spread of the plague. The measures included, among other things, the prohibition of meetings, i.e. static or itinerant aggregation of groups of people gathered for any reason, and of demonstrations and events, and consequently the cessation of all public religious celebrations. This has caused that two important religious feasts are not officially celebrated: the feast of San Giuseppe and the rites of…
Mariano Benlliure Gil, artífice de la recuperación del patrimonio escultórico para la Cofradía California de Cartagena
2020
After the patrimonial destruction that took place during the Civil War of 1936-1939 in the city of Cartagena, religious art and especially sacred sculpture, is greatly affected. The artistic expressions that the Passionist entities took to the streets on the days of Holy Week, disappear almost in their entirety, having to start a tremendously costly reconstruction process in order to alleviate the losses suffered. The Cofradía California commissioned the renovation of its sculptural patrimony heritage, which came to replace the wealth of the works of Salzillo, to the Valencian artist Mariano Benlliure Gil. All this process is the one studied in this article, keeping in mind the different bi…
