Educar en la diversitat. Una proposta d'educació literària a l'aula de Magisteri
2016
L’objectiu d’aquest article és presentar una experiència duta a terme en l’assignatura «Formació literària en l’aula d’Educació Infantil» durant el curs 2014-2015, a partir de la necessitat educar l’alumnat en la diversitat i amb la incorporació de la literatura, la dramatització i els titelles com a poderoses eines de presa de consciència, de reflexió i de diàleg sobre la diferència. Des de la investigació sobre literatura infantil i amb la diversitat afectivosexual com a eix, els grups de treball van iniciar un debat sobre la (in)visibilitat de la majoria d’aquestes obres, i també dels prejudicis i estereotips que romanen en un gran nombre d’obres infantils. Considerem que l’experiència v…
Forma e linguaggi del teatro dei pupi
2012
The work of Sicilian puppets, not unlike the "total social facts" postulated by Marcel Mauss, is a "total" theatrical performance. It incorporates a series of collective representations able to account for the way Sicilian society was structured up to the second half of the twentieth century. In Sicily, the transmission of folklore knowledge was the result of constant interference between ancient and modern models, coexisting in different socio-cultural environments. This has given to the folkloristic practices (rites, techniques, expressive manifestations, etc.) a peculiar physiognomy, not reducible to clear oppositions between different social layers (hegemon / subaltern, rural / urban) o…
Dyes of a Shadow Theatre: Investigating Tholu Bommalu Indian Puppets through a Highly Sensitive Multi-Spectroscopic Approach
2021
Tholu Bommalu are typical leather puppets of the traditional Indian shadow theatre. Two of these objects are part of a collection in the International Puppets Museum “Antonio Pasqualino” (Palermo, Sicily, Italy), which can count on one hundred-seventy-three of artifacts. These Indian puppets were investigated to obtain information related to the use of dyes for their manufacturing through a multi-technical approach exploiting the combination of highly sensitive spectroscopic techniques. Wet cotton stubbons were used to entrap small particles of dyes on the fibers from the art objects for the consequent analyses. Visible Light Micro-Reflectance spectroscopy was employed for the preliminary i…
FORME E FUNZIONI DEI SIMULACRI E DEI FANTOCCI ANIMATI NELLE FESTE SICILIANE
2021
In Sicilia, in occasione di numerose cerimonie religiose, soprattutto a Pasqua, entrano in scena statue con arti mobili (soprattutto Crocifissi e Madonne) e fantocci antropomorfi o teriomorfi animati da un manipolatore posto al loro interno. Se dal punto di vista fenomenologico, questi ultimi artefatti, costituiscono un ibrido, un incrocio tra umano e artificiale, dai punti di vista funzionale e simbolico, sia che rappresentino i santi apostoli sia che rappresentino eroi fondatori o animali leggendari, si pro-pongono, sempre e comunque, come entità altre dall’umano. I fantocci animati, pertanto, al pari dei mascherati e dei simulacri processionali dei santi, sono da considerarsi delle epifa…
