Igor Spanò, Dal tempio alla piazza: il Karakāṭṭam o ‘danza della brocca’
No full textIn Indian cultural traditions, dance plays a significant role, closely connected, in most cases, to expressions of cultic and ritual life. In particular, the element of the jug held balanced on the head is present in religious contexts as early as the Vedic period in the description of a dance performed at the end of the mahāvrata ritual by a group of maidens: among the meanings of this performance emerges specifically that related to the promotion of fertility linked to female sexuality. Even in present-day India, several dances in the course of the choreography involve a particular skill on the part of the perfomers, often women or girls, in balancing a jug on their heads, symbolically representing the Goddess. There are notable differences, but also interactions and sometimes forms of symbolic borrowing or appropriation between folk dance forms and those legitimised by the Brahmanical tradition. Such characteristics emerge particularly in a dance belonging to the Tamil Nadu tradition, the karakāṭṭam or karagāṭṭam (the 'jug dance'), of which there are two forms of performance: the first, linked to temple celebrations and called sakthi karagam, is danced on the occasion of festivities linked to the cult of the goddess Mariyamman, the 'Lady of the Rain', and takes on an apotropaic significance aimed at propitiating rain and guaranteeing prosperity; the other, called ātta karagam, is a form of entertainment that constitutes a true expression of street performance today, particularly at folk festivals celebrating the harvest in farming villages. The study of the symbolism linked to the jug in the history of Indian religiosity makes it possible to glimpse a possible process of re-signification and re-use of ancient symbolic elements and to highlight analogies and forms of continuity, despite the changing contexts and the temporal distance that separates today's India from the expressions of Vedic religiosity, with contemporary performances and rituals

No full textData and platform co-ops in smart city citizenship: interview with Igor Calzada
No full textIgor Calzada is a senior researcher at universities like Oxford and Cardiff with a focus on urban, regional and technopolitical transformations, considering data issues and social innovation. In November 2020, he launched the book Smart City Citizenship, which proposes another framework at smart cities based on democratic governance and citizenship. Thus, he presents how it is possible to understand and intervene in technopolitical disputes involving algorithms, data, and artificial intelligence based on notions such as digital sovereignty. Among the possibilities, there is the creation of data and platform co-ops based on data and digital commons. For the author, data cooperatives are a subtype of platform cooperatives, in which they focus on business models, while data co-ops share and store data. The book analyzes, among other cases, the Barcelona ecosystem and proposes perspectives for public policies. Currently, Calzada is interested in exploring new models of data governance and artificial intelligence to propose alternative ways to data ecosystems in the European scenario. He defends experimental cities as a reaction to the mainstream idea of the city as a platform, as a reproduction of extractive and panoptic practices through hyperconnectivity. But it will be very difficult in a dangerous context. And he provokes: “how, in the current context, in which we are closed in our homes, can we propose cities with open systems? Other recommendations from the author are an article on platform and data co-ops published in Sustainability journal and a conversation in Spanish about social innovation in smart cities.

Introduzione a Igor Spanò (a cura di) Il Teatro e la festa. Il tempio, la piazza, la scena
No full textPer tre giorni gli studiosi che sono intervenuti al Convegno hanno riflettuto sul senso e sulle funzioni, sulle pratiche cultuali e rituali, sui luoghi che hanno definito nel corso del tempo i momenti della festa e sulle forme di rappresentazione agonistica (danze, corse, gare, giochi di abilità) o drammatica - di cui erano parte essenziale la musica e il canto - che, spesso intrinsecamente, li accompagnano. L'autore nella sua introduzione esamina le sfumature di significato che racchiude il termine utsava, “festa”, “gioia” in sanscrito.For three days the scholars who spoke at the conference reflected on the meaning and functions, on the cult and ritual practices, on the places that have defined the moments of the celebration over time and on the forms of competitive representation (dances, races, competitions, skill games) or dramatic - of which music and singing were an essential part - which, often intrinsically, accompany them. In his introduction, the author examines the nuances of meaning contained in the term utsava, "feast", "joy" in Sanskrit
