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…
Using the Storytelling Method to Hear Children’s Perspectives and Promote Their Social-Emotional Competence
2019
This study investigated the use of a playful, narrative, vignette-based method, called Story Magician’s Play Time (SMPT), in supporting children’s social-emotional reasoning and in helping children practice their social skills. We set out to examine (a) in what ways children use SMPT sessions to explore social interaction situations and to practice social skills, and (b) what story content and narrative play behavior during the SMPT sessions reveal about the social-emotional competence of children, in terms of acquisition and performance skills. The data were collected during SMPT storytelling sessions where 5- to 6-year-old children narrated stories of familiar but challenging daily situa…
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…
