Alla fiera della memoria. Feste, identità locali e mercato culturale in Sicilia
2013
L’insieme delle feste religiose siciliane si offre oggi come una realtà mutevole e poliedrica dove è possibile osservare il folklorico e il folkloristico, la tradizione, la riproposta e l’invenzione convivere l’uno accanto all’altro. Allo spontaneo processo di riaffermazione e di riscoperta di usi e costumi scomparsi, ovvero a rischio di scomparsa, si sono presto affiancati, finendo spesso con il prevalere, vari interessi economici, istituzionali e politici diretti a manipolare a proprio vantaggio le manifestazioni tradizionali sostenendo “la moda del folk e del rustico” e promuovendo le retoriche delle identità e delle radici perdute. Una rinascita di tradizioni religiose, quindi, dai conn…
Hacer películas chilenas desde Francia: Marcela Said y Jairo Boisier
2019
Submitting projects to international funds and the subsequent festival tour are obligatory steps for most films that, outside purely commercial circuits, seek distribution and cultural legitimacy beyond their national borders. In this globalized context, European support funds are particularly important. Following the path opened by pioneering scholars (De Valck, Elsaesser, Falicov, Shaw), this article aims to study the transnational networks in which Latin American cinema is currently involved. We address this issue by focussing on the specific case of two Chilean directors based in France: Marcela Said and Jairo Boisier. By doing so, we intend to show how European and particularly French …
Questua, sacrificio e banchetto rituale nelle feste campestri della Sardegna
2019
La questua di denaro, di alimenti e di capi di bestiame, il sacrificio di questi ultimi e il banchetto collettivo sono ancora oggi fra le azioni rituali più importanti delle feste campestri della Sardegna. Attraverso la descrizione e l’analisi di alcuni casi di studio, il contributo si propone di indagare l’importanza del cibo in ambito festivo. Durante il banchetto, infatti, si creano e si rinnovano relazioni e gerarchie, si esalta l’abbondanza e il consumo, si ribadisce l’appartenenza alla comunità e al culto comunitario. Il cibo, in sostanza, diviene un importante e imprescindibile strumento di comunicazione sociale. The begging of money, food and livestock, the sacrifice of the latter a…
Høytidsmarkering i religiøst mangfoldige barnehager
2015
Based on the religions represented in the children's group, Norwegian kindergartens are required to have activities related to religious festivals. The requirement is aiming both on mutual interest, respect and tolerance between the children and on the recognition of the life world of the children affiliated with the religion in point. The study demonstrates that recognition of the Muslim festival Id al-fitr takes place in a very limited part of the kindergartens, and that the cooperation with parents is qualitatively different between majority and minority religions. We have also found that the kindergartens that recognized religious festivals aims their activities to affirm the Muslim chi…

2015
L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és examinar les composicions poètiques aportades per dones als tres certàmens celebrats a València i Barcelona, amb motiu de la beatificació (1614) i posterior canonització (1622) de Teresa de Jesús; dos moments clau per a la consolidació de la fama de la carmelitana avilesa que van possibilitar l’exhibició pública i impressió de poesia femenina. Analitzem també la participació femenina catalana al certamen celebrat a Saragossa el 1614 per la beatificació. L’estudi està enfocat des d’una perspectiva femenina, a través de la revisió de dihuit poesies amb signatura de dones que ens han transmès les extenses relacions impreses. Al llarg del comentari dels poemes, ana…
Corpo a corpo. Agoni e danze cerimoniali nella Sicilia contemporanea
2018
the choreutical movements of the statues of saints are still today a constitutive and qualifying component of the ritual process of numerous Sicilian religious festivals, in particular those of Easter and the spring-summer ones of the patron saints. The races and dances of the Risen Christ and of the saints are generally accompanied by competitions, struggles, displays of virile attitudes, erotic allusions, the display of gold and evergreen fronds, the consumption of peculiar foods and desserts or a set of ritual symbols of an orgiastic nature which, in referring to an experience of the agro-pastoral world, appear as originally intended to celebrate and promote, at critical moments, the cos…
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…
