Sublime and grotesque:exploring the liminal positioning of clowns between oppositional aesthetic categories
2019
The horror clown is a potential rooted in the liminalities that are an integral part of the clown figure per se. Drawing on anthropological work and the study of popular culture, this paper argues that clowns can be placed between different dualistic frames such as the sacred and the profane, the sublime and the grotesque, and fear and disgust. This positioning and the ways in which clowns operate between these categories are transmitted aesthetically. In this paper the dualistic aesthetics and violent potential of clowns is examined through three different clown examples: the ritual clown, the circus clown and the horror clown. Field observations made by Keisalo of the Chapayeka rituals cl…
Giacomo Serpotta tra sacro e profano
2022
We shall be taking an innovative and original approach in our examination of the insuperable figure of Giacomo Serpotta, an outstanding Sicilian stucco sculptor of the 18th century. The complete artistic output of Giacomo Serpotta is traced, oscillating between the sacred and the profane in the sculptural adornment of many churches and oratories. Here, Giacomo Serpotta shifts from the Baroque to Rococo, originating a sculptural art that is profoundly innovative in its language and symbology. Formal reading and chromatic-spatial games are intertwined with the symbolic in the light of significant essays by Carl Gustav Jung, Martin Heidegger and Carlo Giulio Argan
Ekskurs XI. Sprofanowana świątynia (Ez 8,1-18) i dolina suchych kości (Ez 37,1-14) w świetle retoryki hebrajskiej
2021
Kontekstem badań było to, że komentatorzy Księgi Ezechiela nie są zgodni w sprawie struktury badanych tekstów i proponują odmienne schematy. Celem badań stało się odkrycie struktury, którą starożytny autor natchniony zawarł w tekście. By osiągnąć założony cel, zastosowano metodę retoryki hebrajskiej, którą opracował Roland Meynet. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań udało się odkryć, że sprofanowana świątynia ma strukturę paralelno-koncentryczną, składającą się z 9 elementów (A, B, C, D, E, D’, C’, B’, A’), natomiast dolina suchych kości też ma strukturę paralelno-koncentryczną, na którą składa się 5 elementów (A, B, C, B’, A’). Osiągnięte wyniki pozwoliły wyciągnąć wspólny wniosek dla dwóch ba…
Savoirs, représentations et comportements des réunionnais en matière de santé et d'environnement 18 mois après l'épidémie de chikungunya
2009
The outbreak of Chikungunya in Reunion in 2005/2006 surprised by its intensity and by the appearance of serious forms. It has left health professionals and relatively poor populations facing the lack of appropriate treatment. From the example of Chikungunya, the general objective of our multidisciplinary research was to study how two types of factors interact in the management of a vector-based disease: those related to representations and knowledge of the disease, and those related to to the perception of the environment. In this poster, we present the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in November 2007 among the inhabitants of a district of Ravine des Cabris (Commune of St Pierre…
Secular Re-symbolisation of the Santiago Pilgrimage in Spanish Cinema: the Case of The Way and Road to Santiago
2020
El estudio durkheimiano sobre la función social de la religión interpreta la peregrinación y el turismo como formas de movilidad mediante las que se lleva a cabo el tránsito de lo profano-cotidiano a lo sagrado-religioso. El turismo que recorre el Camino de Santiago hoy se cimenta sobre las rutas cristianas de peregrinaje surgidas en el siglo IX que tenían como destino la tumba del apóstol Santiago el Mayor ubicada en la Catedral de Santiago de Compostela. Desde finales del siglo XX las políticas institucionales orientadas a la promoción del Camino de Santiago han promovido una imagen secularizada del peregrinaje jacobeo que ha dado como resultado un espectacular incremento del turismo en l…
