T'è prikòs o thanatos: le prefiche nel Salento griko tra "normatività della lingua" e "ordine simbolico della madre"
Get PDFEnIn the figure of the prefica (wailer or mourner) from Grecìa Salentina and in her songs the normativity of the language is confirmed and maintained as an order of the community. The persistence of Griko language in the ritual songs of death performs a function of conservation and return of collective values from the point of view of a mother's symbolic order.ItNella figura della prefica della Grecìa Salentina e nei suoi canti si conserva e si mantiene la normatività della lingua come ordine della comunità. La persistenza della lingua grika nei canti rituali di morte svolge una funzione di conservazione e di restituzione dei valori collettivi nell'ottica di un "ordine simbolico della madre"
Lamenti, riti, e tradizioni funebri a Sternatia e nei Dekatrìa Chorìa
Get PDFEnLaments (morolòja) are part of the rich poetic production of the Greek-Salentine area. Concerning all the genres of traditional songs (like love, spite, work, emigration, etc.), laments are the most beautiful. In these songs, love for the departed one and grief for the bereaved merge into a pathos of high poetic value. Laments (morolòja) are the songs that fascinate the most not only because they deal with themes that touch the soul but also of the difficulty one encounters in listening to them live; in accordance with funeral rites and traditions, they have always captured many scholars' attention. In this article, an attempt has been made to outline the funeral traditions of the Greeks of Salento. The information, drawn from the available bibliography, has been ascertained and enriched through the interviews of elderly women from Hellenophone countries. In the bibliography used in this work there are no references of the structure and typology of laments (morolòja). The exordium is only indicated well in MOROSI 1870. A careful analysis though, of some texts not only confirms the existence of the exordium, but also identifies the presence of several parts that give the song a complete structure: the introduction to the subject, the song itself, the conclusion of the song as well as a final consideration.ItI morolòja fanno parte della corposa produzione poetica dell'area greco-salentina. Tra tutti i generi di canti tradizionali (d'amore, di dispetto, di lavoro, dell'emigrazione, ecc.) i canti funebri sono i più belli in assoluto. In questi canti l'amore per il proprio caro scomparso e il dolore per il lutto si fondono in un pathos di alto valore poetico. I morolòja sono i canti che affascinano di più perché trattano temi che toccano l'animo e per la difficoltà che si incontra volendoli ascoltare dal vivo; insieme ai riti e alle tradizioni funebri, hanno da sempre attirato l'attenzione di molti studiosi. In questo articolo si è cercato di delineare un quadro delle tradizioni funebri dei Greci del Salento. Le informazioni, ricavate dalla bibliografia disponibile, hanno avuto un riscontro e un arricchimento grazie alle interviste effettuate ad alcune anziane signore dei paesi ellenofoni. Nella bibliografia utilizzata in questo lavoro non compaiono riferimenti alla struttura e alla tipologia dei morolòja, solo in MOROSI 1870 è ben segnalata la presenza del preambolo. Da un'attenta analisi di alcuni testi, oltre a confermare l'esistenza del preambolo, è stata individuata la presenza di alcune parti che danno al canto una struttura completa: introduzione all'argomento, canto vero e proprio, conclusione del canto, considerazione finale.ElΤα μοιρολόγια αποτελούν μέρος της πλούσιας ποιητικής παραγωγής της Ελληνικής περιοχής του Σαλέντο. Από όλα τα είδη των παραδοσιακών τραγουδιών (του έρωτα, του μίσους, της εργατιάς, της μετανάστευσης κ.λπ.), τα μοιρολόγια είναι τα πιο όμορφα. Σε αυτά τα τραγούδια, η αγάπη για το αγαπημένο πρόσωπο που έφυγε και η θλίψη για τον πενθούντα, συγχωνεύονται σε ένα πάθος υψηλής ποιητικής αξίας. Τα μοιρολόγια είναι τα τραγούδια που γοητεύουν περισσότερο επειδή πραγματεύονται θέματα που αγγίζουν την ψυχή και λόγω της δυσκολίας που συναντά κανείς όταν τα ακούει ζωντανά, μαζί με τις τελετές και τις παραδόσεις της κηδείας, έχουν προσελκύσει από πάντα την προσοχή πολλών μελετητών. Στο παρόν άρθρο γίνεται μια προσπάθεια να σκιαγραφηθούν οι ταφικές παραδόσεις των Ελλήνων του Σαλέντο. Οι πληροφορίες που αντλήθηκαν από τη διαθέσιμη βιβλιογραφία, επιβεβαιώθηκαν και εμπλουτίστηκαν μέσω συνεντεύξεων με ηλικιωμένες γυναίκες από ελληνόφωνες χώρες. Στη βιβλιογραφία που χρησιμοποιήθηκε στην παρούσα εργασία δεν υπάρχουν αναφορές για τη δομή και την τυπολογία των μοιρολογιών. Mόνο στο MOROSI 1870 αναφέρεται καλά η παρουσία του προοιμίου. Μια προσεκτική ανάλυση ορισμένων κειμένων, όχι μόνο επιβεβαιώνει την ύπαρξη του προοιμίου, αλλά και εντοπίζει την παρουσία πολλών κομματιών που προσδίδουν στο τραγούδι μια ολοκληρωμένη δομή: την εισαγωγή στο θέμα, το καθεαυτό τραγούδι, το συμπέρασμα του τραγουδιού, την τελική σκέψη
Itinerari di mediatizzazione del ciclismo nella canzone italiana: forme, racconti, immaginario = Itineraries of mediatization of cycling in Italian song: forms, stories, imaginary
No full textThis study explores the role of the song-form within the phenomena of mediatization of sport, focusing on the case of cycling in the Italian mediascape. After illustrating the different forms of sports mediatization in songs, by reporting on the case study, this paper will highlight, first of all, the specificity of the paratextual mediatization of the songs in the Giro d'Italia. These songs represent a cohesive and identifying medium in a historical moment in which the media-narrative of this sport loses the epic, romantic and mythological stylistic features that it had possessed for a long time. After that, the investigation of the forms of textual mediatization will reveal to what extent they are addressed to some practices of revitalization of an imaginary of the past, underlining an ancestral dimension of the bicycle that was served in post-war Italy to nurture an emotional inspiration useful for relieving oneself of the difficulties of war. This aspect is re-vitalized on a textual level in songs that are configured as stories, but which have not been able to transform themselves – as happens for example in football – into practices of performative and collective sharin
As Wide as the Roots of the Olive Tree: Indigenous Communities of Masafer Yatta and their Eco-Resistance
Get PDFIn Palestine, the eradication of the Indigenous population extends beyond physical displacement and destruction; it entails ecological transformations. Analogous to other settler-colonial contexts, nature is not merely annihilated; rather, it is molded to suit the colonizer's intentions, resulting in modification. This article examines the eco-resistance by the Indigenous people of Masafer Yatta as an Indigenous response to the environmental impact of the Israeli neocolonial entity. By delineating the tactics employed by settlers in the region to erase the Indigenous presence, the article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of colonial dominance over Indigenous lives and knowledge across multiple scales. This analysis is grounded in extensive field immersion spanning from 2016 to 2022. The article addresses critical questions: How does Indigenous resistance manifest in the Masafer Yatta region? What strategies have Israeli settlers implemented on the ground to supplant the Indigenous population in the area? How does settler colonial dominance intersect with macro-economic dimensions and policies? While these questions have been explored within Palestine Studies scholarship and literature, this analysis is distinctive in its reliance on the specific case of Masafer Yatta. This area has received limited scholarly attention to date
Perspectives of the Antifa Movement in Cyprus
Get PDFThe article examines two different leftist, Antifa actors in Cyprus, a political party and a societal group (i.e., an organized football fan group), in relation to two issues. First, we scrutinize their action repertoire in order to identify the type of activities they embrace to tackle the fascist/far-right threat and activity. Second, we study their perceptions regarding the extent of the fascist threat and the use of violence in their treatment of far-right organizations and activists. The article seeks to understand how antifascists in Cyprus understand resistance against far-right organizations, and violence in particular as one manifestation of this resistance. The methodology relied on fieldwork that combines two different methods: analysis of social media posts over a span of 11 years (2010-2021) and selected interviews with activists and cadres from the two actors. We find that they share similar perceptions about the extent and the nature of the fascist threat in Cyprus. They also share similarities with regard to the overall toolkit they use to deal with the far-right. However, they deviate significantly in the way they perceive the use of violence against fascists
