La misura mostruosa della normalità Il museo anatomico, la piazza, gli ethnic show
During the second half of the 19th Century, teratological bodies have been a privileged matter of concern in the public spaces and scientific laboratories. On one side, freak shows reached their greatest success of audience; on the other, teratology, the science which studies freaks, become one the reference science for other medical disciplines. The aim of this article is giving a picture of the biunivous exchange of relics between scientific institutions and freaks exhibitions in local fairs, which could be also considered, in an evolutionist view, an exchange of knowledge. During the 19th Century, a monstrous body, looked by the perspective of the theory of the adult development and the theory of embryonic recapitulation, was used to keep together the ethnological cause and the biological one, naturalizing the classification of human races.

EtnoAntropologia. Stato dell’arte, intendimenti e prospettive future
Tra gli aspetti positivi derivati dalla fusione di Anuac e Aisea nella Siac, si può ascrivere il fatto che il nuovo sodalizio si trova nella felice situazione di ereditare due riviste di fascia A, Anuac ed EtnoAntropologia. Tali riviste costituiscono certamente un prezioso patrimonio e un’indubbia opportunità per la valorizzazione delle ricerche e delle iniziative scientifiche dei soci; sono altresì veicoli di aggiornamento e confronto con la comunità nazionale e internazionale

Erei yayepitako chupe, lo vendicheremo. Immaginario vendicatorio e stregoneria in Isoso. Un approccio antropologico giuridico
This paper treats the relationship between vengeance and witchcraft in the contemporary Guaraní-speaking indigenous region of Isoso, in the Bolivian Chaco. The cases study discussed are about accusations of witchcraft that have generated a retaliation action of vengeance. The argument is that the vengeance is a language that expresses a moral idea, turning into a norm a violent behaviour if validated and substantiated by an idea of justice. Indeed, vengeance is corrects only if it is exercised as a violent retaliatory action against witchcraft. The article concludes that the vengeance in Isoso continues to be conceived as a violent reciprocity mechanism even if the homicide now is forbidden. This because the vengeance still remains a thought model that establishes the community legal imagination and represents the conflictive relationship with witchcraft
