Rapporti di genere e “balli sardi”. Il femminile tra piacere e potere nel campo coreutico della Sardegna centro-meridionale
No full textThe article deals with gender relations in “traditional” Sardinian dances and explores their asymmetrical and hierarchical form, an issue rarely considered by dance anthropology and gender studies in Italy. Using an ethnographic perspective, it focuses on practices and discourses related to “ballo sardo”, a dance where man usually plays a leading role in terms of dance guidance, control of execution, and freedom of expression. Giving voice to the point of view of the female dancers, so far invisibilized, the article intends to show how gender relations operate in Sardinian dances, and tries to explain some of the mechanisms that govern the reproduction and naturalization of gender relations through a popular dance
Condividere il bosco. Un confronto tra regimi del patrimonio in Val di Fiemme
No full textThis article aims to consider the historical transition between different forest heritage regimes in the Fiemme Valley. For most of its nine-century history, the community of Fiemme managed its woodland as a commons, a self-organized, long-enduring, and self-governed system of resources. This type of regime began to change as early as the 18th century, under the pressure of influential commercial companies and the administrative reorganization of the post-Napoleonic states. Nowadays, joint forest management and alpine tourism are shaping a new heritage regime, based on sustainability and the valorization of the forests
Il Festival, la città e il “senso del luogo”. Considerazioni intorno al Festival di Sanremo
No full textThe Sanremo Festival is a mass-media event that involves a plurality of socio-economic, cultural and territorial factors/plans, requiring a multidisciplinary analysis perspective. This event has shown its vitality through various stages, turned seventy years in 2020, and has been subject to significant transformations.In this article I focus on the way in which the events of the Festival have intertwined with representations not only of the nation, but also of the city of Sanremo, through the use and reuse of urban spaces. I also highlight how a “sense of place” has been created around this event, becoming over the time a constitutive part of it
Hosting Futures. Dispossession and Hospitality in Contemporary Portugal
No full textIn Mediterranean Europe there has been a notable increase inevictions and foreclosures in the past few years. During these processes,families are ‘locked out’ of their pasts – incorporated into walls, objects,relationships, but also a wider world built on the possibility of anticipatingand imagining futures. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in an informalneighborhood on the outskirts of Lisbon, I demonstrate that hospitality iscapable, on the one hand, of re-connecting home and hope, and, on the other,of providing a convincing basis of regional comparison. My intention is toshow that hospitality can be investigated as a «weapon of the weak»
Rapporti. Fare università, convivere con il virus
No full textThis article represents an attempt to take stock of my specific experiences about one year of university activities during the complex period of the Covid-19 pandemic. Starting from a reflection on the first anthropological debates – that still emerged in the midst of the lockdowns – I try to re-read my contributions in the management and the political-academic coordination of the emergency phase at the University of Perugia (previous to summer 2021). On the other hand, I describe the path of self-ethnography and shared writing undertaken with the students of the Cultural Anthropology teaching (after summer 2021)
Libertà, dignità, autorità. Il processo rivoluzionario tunisino e l’attivismo islamico in una prospettiva politico-antropologica
No full textThe practical and theoretical elaboration of the concepts of democracy and pluralism, pursued by the Tunisian Islamic public, is an aspect of contemporary Islamic discursive traditions and is part of a broader project focused on the declination of a specific form of Tunisian Islamic modernity. I suggest a combined effort of the anthropological and political approaches to social and political activism, to analyze in a more complex way the dynamic interactions between Islamist and da‘wa movements in the MENA region. I refer to both these kinds of activism as the Tunisian Islamic public. I analyze in an anthropological perspective such concepts as pluralism, moderation, democracy.The interpretive paradigm allows to balance the experience-distant concepts of political-anthropological analysis with the experience-near concepts of Tunisian social actors involved in the revolutionary process: I tried to locate the analytical concept of democracy against the background of the ideological and practical tools of the protagonists of the revolutionary process. The sub-categories covered under the broader concept of democracy are closer to social actors’ own experience: I refer to such concepts as freedom, dignity, social justice, pluralism, toleration, governmentality, that are analyzed with reference to both their explicit formulation and implicit understandings by the individuals and groups involved in the revolutionary process. I interpret the quest for an Islamic understanding of such concepts, carried out by the Tunisian Islamic movements after the 2011 Revolution, as part of an authorizing discourse [Asad 1986] about the Tunisian specificity, aimed to legitimate the social and political commitment in the name of Islam. This discourse draws on the local interpretations of Islamic practices, on the work of modern and classical Islamic thinkers, and on the reasoning about democracy and human rights
Medianità e pandemia : lo sguardo dei «passeurs» di anime
No full textCrucial moments in collective history invest the sphere of the religious and the spiritual, becoming catalysts of imaginary productions and, at the same time, of new or readapted practices. The investigation presented here starts from a specific circuit of production of meaning around Covid-19, that of heterodox spiritualities, which flourish beyond the institutional forms of the religious. Starting with a look at the pandemic of French-speaking mediums who call themselves "passeurs" of souls, the text analyses significant aspects of the contemporary relationship between the religious and political dimensions in this specific context
Antropologia in quota
No full text«Una regione unica al centro dell’Europa»: così Bätzing (2005), prendendo atto della loro posizione privilegiata, ha definito le Alpi, che già in epoca romana erano il crocevia della rete degli scambi economici e culturali europei. È infatti un’area strategica che nel corso del tempo si è sempre più distinta come una “macro-regione” caratterizzata da sovrapposizioni di elementi culturali, sociali, economici e politici di cui si cercherà di dare conto nelle pagine che seguono
The Future(s) of the Mediterraneans: Between Uncertainty and Resilience
No full textIn this introductory discussion, we argue that uncertainty canbe seen as a common feature of Mediterranean countries beyond theirvarying histories and social realities. Such sense of uncertainty regarding thepresent and the future – strongly linked to economic instability and politicalturbulences – is analysed in this special issue through examples from theSouth and the North of the Mediterranean. A particular focus is laid oninnovative forms of resilience, understood as actors’ capacities to adapt ordeal successfully with change, or with challenging circumstances. However,we also discuss the limitations and potential misuses of the concept whenapplied uncritically. Equally important in the case studies presented here, inGreece as in Portugal, in Morocco and Tunisia as in the Italian case is theinvestigation of social actors’ perception of the future. Times of crisis and thecapacity to aspire, anticipation and the individual or collective imagination:these are topics also investigated by the articles of this special issue, whichare not only contributions to Mediterranean anthropology but also to theanthropology of the future. Altogether, the articles scrutinise how powerfulimaginations of potential futures and orientations to the yet-to-come are instructuring individual and collective experience in times of political andeconomic uncertainty
Pandemia, imago mortis e sue migrazioni digitali
No full textThe pandemic disrupted not only daily existence but, in its most acute phase, also the traditional customs for commemorating those who lost their lives to Covid. The virus erased the celebration of mourning. In a situation where the obligation to stay at home has prevented vigils and funerals, the Internet has offered alternatives through applications that have been managing the accounts of the deceased for some years now, proposing digital ways of remembering the dead
