Poco tempo fa, a un pranzo domenicale, conversavo con una signora di mezz’età sulle vacanze estive appena trascorse. «Lasciamo perdere», mi dice, «oramai sono diventata la nonna dei cani». La signora mi spiega che i suoi due figli, precari, convivono con le rispettive fidanzate, ma non osano far figli sicché hanno preso, ognuno, una coppia di canòni, di non so quale pregiatissima razza, che amano alla follia e che durante le ferie e i sabato sera vengono, manco a dirlo, depositati a casa dei genitori, cioè della mia dirimpettaia di tavola, che ama immensamente i suoi ragazzi e tutto ciò che essi emanano, al punto da sacrificare le proprie meritate vacanze per accudire quei quadrupedi decisa…
Les ronds-points au carrefour de l’incommunication
2019
This paper explores how the anthropology of communication, as formalized by Yves Winkin further to his work on the “invisible college” of Palo Alto, enhances research in information and communication sciences into the political field. The anthropological approach based on the “new communication” model seems essential to understanding the failure in communication besetting the fundamental relation between those who govern and those who are governed especially in France. The Gilets jaunes (yellow vests) crisis illustrates and drives this proposal by widening the scope of analysis defined by the specialists of political communication to encompass all the actors, institutions, and processes inv…

Il corpo sessuato delle dee. Agricoltura, pastorizia e mondo vegetale nella Mesopotamia antica
2021
Divine love is the central theme of many ancient Mesopotamian compositions. Both Sumerian and Akkadian texts poetically describe the love and sexual relationship between gods. The object of this study is to analyze the metaphorical language used to describe divine love relationships, focusing in particular on the use of images from agriculture, pastoralism, and the plant world. Such metaphors contribute to the creation and at the same time to the reinforcement of a sexual imaginary, not only divine but also human. Divine sexuality and the metaphors used to describe it would, over the millennia, become paradigms for understanding and thinking about human sexuality: male power and vigor, fema…
¿Quién tiene miedo del pasado? La relación con la historia de la demo-etno-antropología italiana entre los siglos xix y xx
2019
The construction of the past and its periodic reaffirmation are fundamental moments of the construction of identity, both individual and collective, and are, therefore, the object of more or less conscious decisions and manipulations by groups and individuals. It is only through the diachronic analysis of cultural responses to human problems that certain spatial and temporal continuities of ritual forms, beliefs and symbols that justify it are clarified; it is not only at the level of the mere succession of phenomena, because of the signifiers, nor of the only sociological analysis that they possess and the attention of those who seek the reasons for being in the future must be concentrated…
A Revised Sex Assessment of the Epigravettian Human Remain ST1 from San Teodoro Cave (Messina, Sicily)
2013
Bias in skeletal sexing is well known and depends upon the completeness of the skeletal remains. The problem is very hard concerning prehistorical remains. We applied ‘Visual methods’ and ‘Probabilistic Sex Diagnosis’ (DSP) on the coxal bones on the Epigravettian skeleton (ST1) from San Teodoro (Messina, Sicily). On the basis of cranial characters and the overall robustness of the postcranial skeleton, it was suggested, since the time of the discovery, a male sex for ST1. This determination was later modified on the basis of the pelvic girdle morphology, and the skeleton was attributed the female sex for many years by large consensus. Our results indicate without ambiguity that ST1 is a mal…
Dones intrèpides... i sàvies. Europees a Àfrica

L’accés de les dones a professions tingudes tradicionalment per pròpies d’homes com la medicina, el professorat i també la recerca ha estat problemàtic fins a dates relativament recents. Algunes, tanmateix, com les tres presentades com a exemple a l’article, han esdevingut pioneres en disciplines i espais dels més difícils i compromesos.
The Search of St Peter’s Memory Ad Catacumbas in the Cemeterial Area Ad Duos Lauros in Rome
2021
The purpose of our study is to research Peter’s memory ad catacumbas. According to the Depositio Martyrum ‒ a document of the late Emperor Constantine ‒, there was no memory of the first St Peter’s Basilica on the Vatican Hill. We start with a critical analysis on the Roman Basilicae attributed to Emperor Constantine in the Liber Pontificalis, then we deepen the search of Peter’s memory in the catacombs of the SS Marcellino and Pietro (ad Duos Lauros), also known as Tor Pignattara. Indeed, the Basilica and Mausoleum built in this cemeterial area are the only buildings attributable, with certainty, to Emperor Constantine, who wished to be buried in the Mausoleum, close to a…

Il libro raccoglie sette portfolio realizzati da Michele Di Donato tra il 2010 e il 2016. In questi lavori Di Donato restituisce diverse “realtà”: da quelle del surreale legate al disordine dei pensieri di chi dorme, a quelle del fantastico e della silenziosa metafisica della notte; dalle condizioni dello spazio moderno transitorio, anonimo e solitario alle percezioni di luoghi tanto indistinti da potersi immedesimare in qualsiasi possibilità paesaggistica fino a raggiungere le dimensioni di un déjà-vu o di un posto futuribile di una quinta teatrale; e ancora, le realtà identitarie dei luoghi e delle genti di Sicilia come dei fermo immagine della storia, ancore visuali, vecchie cartoline ch…
