A Parody of the Church Service in Seventeenth-Century Finland. Reconstructing Popular Religion on the Basis of Court Records
2012
Introduction
2020
The material dimension of cult practices and ritual communication in ancient sanctuaries is the central issue of all contributions gathered in the book, which has been framed within three complementary areas of enquiry. Firstly, the architectural settings of sanctuaries was examined beyond temple buildings to appraise the wider context of their structural and spatial complexity. Secondly, the material culture of votive deposition and religious feasting is analysed in terms of performative characteristics and through the lens of anthropological approaches. Thirdly, the significance of gender in cultic practice is investigated in light of the fresh data retrieved from the field.
Mafiosi devoti, ministri della chiesa ambigui
2008
La gran parte degli appartenenti a Cosa Nostra manifesta apertamente la propria fede in Dio. E diversi esponenti dell’istituzione ecclesiale cattolica si mostrano “simpatetici” con la visione degli “uomini d’onore”. L'articolo analizza le modalità di convivenza di questo ambiguo binomio.
Rilkean Memories and the Self of a Robot
2019
This paper discusses the concept of Rilkean memories, recently introduced by Mark Rowlands, to analyze the complex intermix of hardware and software related to the self of a robot. The Rilkean memory of an event is related to the trace of that episode left in the body of the individual. It transforms the act of remembering into behavioral and bodily dispositions, thus generating the peculiar behavioral style of the individual, which is at the basis of her autobiographical self. In the case of long-life operating robots, a similar process occurs: the software of the robot has to cope with the changes that happened in the body of the robot because of damaging events in its operational life.

Downfall of the domestic gods. A Discovery of Statues in a 3rd-century House in Entrains-sur-Nohain (Burgundy, France)
2021
Several stone statuettes of domestic gods have been discovered in houses in the Roman city of Intaranum, now Entrains (Nièvre), located in the north of the Aeduii territory. During an excavation carried out by INRAP in 2014-2015 in the northern part of the city, nine new statuettes were unearthed, some intact or barely damaged. The statuettes are of feminine or masculine deities, who sit and hold their knees, symbolising material welfare. Some statuettes come from in previously identified workshops. The data from both earlier and more recent excavations converge to date most of the statuettes to the 2nd half of the 2nd century CE. Abandoned during Late Antiquity, some of these artefacts wer…

Lutheran Clergy in an Orthodox Empire. The Apppointment of Pastors in the Russo-Swedish Borderland in the 18th Century
2015
Abstract The history of the parishioners’ right to participate in and influence the choice of local clergy in Sweden and Finland can be taken back as far as the late Medieval Times. The procedures for electing clergymen are described in historiography as a specifically Nordic feature and as creating the basis of local self-government. In this article the features of local self-government are studied in a context where the scope for action was being modified. The focus is on the parishioners’ possibilities and willingness to influence the appointment of pastors in the Lutheran parishes of the Russo-Swedish borderlands in the 18th century. At the same time, this article will offer the first c…
Introduction : La quête rituelle, dieu caché des nouvelles radicalités : jalons anthropologiques sur le cadre, les réseaux, les discours
2020
En proposant un détour par l’anthropologie, l’allocution introductive de Pascal Lardellier pose le cadre d’étude général des dynamiques afférentes à la radicalité, abordées lors du colloque. Il débute son analyse en présentant trois caractéristiques de la vie moderne : tout d’abord la désinstitution, c’est-à-dire la crise des institutions traditionnelles (politique, école, famille) qui n’offrent plus le destin « clé-en-mains » qu’elles proposaient jadis ; puis la déritualisation massive de la société, c’est-à-dire la disparition des rites traditionnelles religieux et/ou païens ; et enfin, l’individualisme connecté, c’est-à-dire la connexion croissante des individus, de pair avec leur solitu…
