Vr̥kṣa vivāha. Dendrogamie in India fra tradizioni antiche e pratiche devozionali contemporanee
2021
An inextricable tangle of branches and roots arises in many Indian villages in the place where two trees united in marriage (vr̥kṣa vivāha), grow intertwining with each other in an everlasting 'embrace'. This interweaving describes well the complex network of symbols and textual references that are revealed in the relationships that Indian culture has built around a pair of trees: the aśvattha and the śamī. In this paper, I will try to highlight some mythological and ritual aspects related to this pair. The two trees, in fact, although in today's context separately, are the object of rituals that turn out to be true tree marriages. In particular, concerning aśvattha, what is striking is tha…
La teoria degli schemi della pratica di Descola e il caso etnografico dei Wayùu
2022
The chapter traces Descola's interest in the collocation of the cosmology of the indigenous Wayùu people of the Guajira peninsula within his typology of ontologies and modes of identification. It also deals with the positions of those scholars who have proposed reinterpretations of Wayùu ethnography in the light of Descola's theory of the patterns of practice exposed in 'Beyond Nature et Culture'
The agency of non-human entity in the recent anthropology of the Indigenous Lowland South America
2015
In the last twenty years, agency has entered the field of anthropological studies of Lowland South America Indigenous Peoples as a term and a topic of concern. Ethnographical and theoretical treatment of this notion has intertwined here with the revisiting of the concept of animism, Viveiros de Castro’s statements about “amerindian perspectivism” and a broader “ontological turn” in research orientation. In the paper I discuss this trend, focusing on how different notions of agency are used to talk about topics as shamanism and ontological status of artifacts as well as, more generally, of other non-human categories of beings. I pay attention too to dissonances and consonances in this field …
The place of livestock in human-nonhuman relationship among the Wayuu
2020
In the ethnology of indigenous LSA, the Wayuu case has always been considered a peculiar one. Among the main features which make difficult to insert it in the comparative debate on indigenous models of sociality and cosmology in this area, one can mention: pristine introduction of cattle raising; maintenance of political semi-autonomy till very recent times; development, already in the colonial period, of forms of social hierarchy based on ownership of livestock and other material goods; articulation of these forms with a system of matrilineal descent groups; interplay among the inclusive character of the descendants of mixed unions and the shifting of the traits selected for marking ethnic…
Uccidere spazi. Microanalisi della corrida
2013
Che senso ha fare corride oggi? Chi è lo spettatore della corrida nell’Europa contemporanea? Da almeno tre generazioni il Tardo Occidente aspetta una fine che non arriva e recupera spazi in disuso per allestire rifugi di fortuna. La corrida è una di queste camere ambigue, dove sistema e critica al sistema coabitano per necessità come il vecchio e la sua badante. Ma l’arena è anche una parentesi vuota: ogni epoca l’ha riempita di metafore che avevano senso in quel dato momento. Allora quali aporie, quali mancanze lo spettatore della corrida porta con sé oggi nel teatro della tauromachia? Che cosa accade nel corpo-mente di chi guarda uomini e tori che cercano di uccidersi a vicenda? Con quest…

Mūsdienu latviešu animisma modifikācijas
2015
Mūsdienās īpaša piesaiste dabas pasaulei vairs nav nepieciešama, jo sakrālā pasaule tiek uztverta savādāk, ne vairs kā iztikas nodrošinātāja. Tomēr cilvēkam emocionāla piesaiste ir saglabājusies. Šī pasaule bieži tiek fragmentēta, sakralizējot konkrētu vietu ar dabas objektu elementiem, kuriem tiek piedēvētas enerģētiskas īpašības. Piedēvēt šādas īpašības dabas objektiem ir raksturīgi New Age kustībai. Ietekmējoties no šīs kustības, tradicionālās latviešu animisma idejas tiek sapludinātas ar New Age kustības idejām. Šajā darbā tiek aplūkotas divas svētvietas, kurām tiek piedēvētas enerģētiskas īpašības, kas ir raksturīgi New Age, -Pokaiņi, kas atrodas Dobeles novada Naudītes pagastā un Sokr…
