"Memorie dal sottosuolo". Una prospettiva di indagine sul simbolismo rituale delle feste religiose "tradizionali"
2017
In 1945, writing about the procession of Our Lady of Viggiano, Carlo Levi presents us a peasant world characterized by archaic beliefs and ritual practices, another world « where seasons run on peasant fatigue, [...] like three thousand years before Christ », a world « veiled with black veils, fiery and earthly [...] which you do not enter without a key of magic ». If that other world of the peasants seems to have come to an end today, the beliefs, practices and ritual symbols of reputed “pre-Christian” precedence or in any case alien to the official liturgy, as witnessed by Levi and many other narrators and demoanthropologists from the 19th and 20th century are not, however, definitively l…
La mafia devota. Chiesa, religione, Cosa Nostra
2008
Esiste un Dio dei mafiosi? Qual è il rapporto tra gli uomini d’onore e la religione? Fin dalle origini, la mafia ha attinto alla simbologia cattolica per rinsaldare i legami tra i suoi associati e attribuire dignità alle proprie azioni, creando una ‘religione capovolta’ a propria misura, cercando compiacenza e complicità tra i ministri del culto. L’assassinio per mano mafiosa di padre Pino Puglisi giunge al termine di un lento e difficile processo di maturazione che ha portato le gerarchie ecclesiastiche a una più critica sensibilità verso le ragioni della legalità. Resiste ancora oggi, tuttavia, una Chiesa dalle molte anime, in cui l’opera dei sacerdoti impegnati a diffondere sul territori…
Una è la forma, molti sono i nomi : scenari del sacro femminile tra la Sicilia e Creta
2022
Nei culti rivolti alle Madonne e alle Sante in Sicilia e a Creta, in particolare in quelli caratterizzati dall’ostensione e dalla manipolazione di fronde vegetali, dall’uso di acque salutifere, dal riutilizzo di antichi spazi cultuali (grotte, cime montuose, boschi), sembra continuino a reiterarsi modelli mitici e simboli rituali propri di un antico pattern del sacro femminile che, di volta in volta, disarticolato e rimodulato, si rivela tutt’altro che inattuale e che anzi continua a conferire senso alle molteplici e rinnovate istanze dell’esperienza religiosa contemporanea. Che si voglia ammettere ovvero respingere l’ipotesi di una relazione storica delle espressioni del sacro femminile e …
Interactive Effects of Explicit Emergent Structure: A Major Challenge for Cognitive Computational Modeling
2015
International audience; David Marr's (1982) three-level analysis of computational cognition argues for three distinct levels of cognitive information processingnamely, the computational, representational, and implementational levels. But Marr's levels areand were meant to bedescriptive, rather than interactive and dynamic. For this reason, we suggest that, had Marr been writing today, he might well have gone even farther in his analysis, including the emergence of structurein particular, explicit structure at the conceptual levelfrom lower levels, and the effect of explicit emergent structures on the level (or levels) that gave rise to them. The message is that today's cognitive scientists …

Australia: An Inescapable Cultural Paradigm? Cross- and Transcultural Elements in Tim Winton’s Fiction
2016
The article considers Tim Winton’s fiction in terms of its cross- and transcultural character. Despite the fact that local Australian settings permeate the writer’s narratives, Winton creates an imaginary space that is both local and transnational in terms of its quality of the domestic culture, which Winton extends beyond its original field of practice. Winton achieves the transcultural quality of his fiction through transgressions and boundary breaking that are possible due to his frequent reworking of the traditional Australian themes and concepts of the unknown, supernatural, mystical, numinous and sacred, exploitation of leitmotifs of journey, transit and in-betweenness, use of cross-c…

Using Attribute Grammars for Description of Inductive Inference Search Space
1998
The problem of practically feasible inductive inference of functions or other objects that can be described by means of an attribute grammar is studied in this paper. In our approach based on attribute grammars various kinds of knowledge about the object to be found can be encoded, ranging from usual input/output examples to assumptions about unknown object's syntactic structure to some dynamic object's properties. We present theoretical results as well as describe the architecture of a practical inductive synthesis system based on theoretical findings.
Kjønn og religiøse grenser: Unge muslimer og kristnes forhandlinger av kjønn i migrantmenigheter
2019
Artikkelen belyser unge muslimer og kristnes forhandling av kjønn i migrantmenigheter: 1) Hvordan forhandler unge muslimer og kristne forventningene knyttet til kjønn, forbundet med religiøse klesdrakter og kjønnsdelte arbeidsoppgaver? Og 2), hva kan ungdommenes oppfatninger av religiøse koder og kjønnsdelte arbeidsoppgaver fortelle om symbolsk grensedragning mellom deres tilhørighet til en minoritetsgruppe og tilhørighet til majoritetssamfunnet? Data består av 23 kvalitative intervjuer med tenåringer og unge voksne i alderen 16–35 år. Ungdommene forhandlet stadig kleskoder og kjønnsdelte arbeidsoppgaver ut fra ulike religiøse, moralske og kulturelle forventninger. De skilte mellom religion…
Le pratiche magiche tra passato e presente
2015
Both in the contemporary Sicilian magic and folkloric reality and in the Egyptian civilization, though with different historical and cultural assumptions, the beliefs which underlie the magic and religious rituals and the ritual symbols substantiating them (acts, words, items, sounds, etc.) show the need to gain control over the mishaps of this world and to command life processes. They reveal the urge to solve the states of individual or collective crisis, to overcome pain, illnesses, death setting up a positive dialogue with supernatural forces and trascendental entities, variously imagined and represented. In order to escape actuality in obiecto, man has, in intellectu, constantly and arb…
