Rituales, descentramientos territoriales y niveles de identidad: La Semana Santa Marinera de Valencia
2011
The aim of this paper is to study how the processes of spatial and identity recomposition brought about by a globalized world affect traditional religious rituals, with particular reference to the <i>Semana Santa Marinera</i> processions in Valencia (Spain). Instead of the ritual giving rise to a single local identity, it can be seen that levels of local identity —while not disappearing— overlap more and more with increasingly vague new territorialities ranging from processional networks based on canon law to state-organized meetings. Media coverage of the ritual means that new virtual communities with no fixed territorial base are created, and the complexity of this phenomenon …
Sisävesien mikrotonnisto : pienet höyrylaivat Suomen ja erityisesti Kainuun sisävesiliikenteessä 1870-luvulta 1960-luvulle

The significance in Finland of shipping on inland waterways has been great.

Special attention is paid to steamships smaller than 19 net register tons. This limit was ch…

Proponiamo un’analisi dei motivi del tatuaggio marinaresco e delle sue evoluzioni contemporanee mantenenti come tema portante il rapporto tra soggettività e mare. Il corpus sarà composto da illustrazioni e fotografie di provenienza bibliografica e verrà interpretato utilizzando, in particolare, gli strumenti di analisi semiotica del visivo. Il mare ha un ascendente particolare sul tatuaggio occidentale, tanto da poterne essere considerato, per molti versi, l’ambito fondativo. Più fonti, anche primarie , indicano la sottocultura marinaresca come il principale vettore della diffusione moderna dei tatuaggi che avvenne a cavallo tra il Settecento e l’Ottocento. Ancora nella prima metà Novecento…
