Tale processo partecipativo integra attività museografica, ricerca sul campo e messinscena degli spettacoli di tradizione e innovazione. È stato promosso dal Museo delle marionette Antonio Pasqualino di Palermo che si configura come un museo della performance, un museo-narrazione, luogo di idee e non di cose, capace di andare al di là della raccolta e trasformarsi in meta-storia, "opera aperta".

È una riproduzione di un bassorilievo bizantino. È realizzato con cenere di ulivo: non ceneri comuni, ma proprio quelle raccolte nei campi nel 2015 mentre i contadini bruciavano le parti malate degli alberi; per questo motivo per me rappresentano un valore affettivo unico. Le due cornici: quella esterna e quella che racchiude Madre Terra sono realizzate con la terra raccolta dal punto dove era piantato l'albero. Le foglie verdi sono realizzate con la polvere delle foglie raccolte in quel periodo e macinate, mentre tutto il resto con la cenere degli ulivi e ricoperto con una foglia oro.

La sua formazione intellettuale avvenne negli anni del regime, al quale aderì con convinzione e slancio, militando sempre nelle sue fazioni più radicali, condivi- dendone fedelmente le scelte più tragiche come la guerra d’Etiopia, sottoscriven- do le Leggi Razziali, impegnandosi nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale con le armi culturali dell’antisemitismo. Sino a quando, come in un «mondo alla rovescia», sconfitto il fascismo sotto il peso di un’umiliante e sanguinosa disfatta, saranno proprio gli odiati inglesi a valorizzarne la statura intellettuale e la nuova Italia de- mocratica a permettergli di avere una inarrestabile ascesa accademica e scientifica.
This essay reconstructs the relationship of Giuseppe Cocchiara with fascism. Cocchiara’s intellectual training occurred under the Regime, to which he adhered with conviction and enthusiasm, always militating in its most radical factions, faithfully sharing its most tragic choices such as the war in Ethiopia and the Ra- cial Laws, also engaging in the Second World War with the cultural weapons of anti-Semitism. Paradoxically, when fascism was defeated under the weight of a humiliating and bloody defeat, were the hated Englishmen the ones who would enhanced his intellectual stature, opening the field for his academic and scientific rise in the new democratic Italy.

The continuous repetition of these modules, used in similar situations, makes it easier to interpret them, so much so that they can now be considered elements of a common language: a figurative language to be investigated in the context of the anthropology of visual communication. The Sicilian family photos collected in this essay belong to this category of cultural products and allow us to reflect on the different articulations of cultural phenomena

It incorporates a series of collective representations able to account for the way Sicilian society was structured up to the second half of the twentieth century. In Sicily, the transmission of folklore knowledge was the result of constant interference between ancient and modern models, coexisting in different socio-cultural environments. This has given to the folkloristic practices (rites, techniques, expressive manifestations, etc.) a peculiar physiognomy, not reducible to clear oppositions between different social layers (hegemon / subaltern, rural / urban) or between different communication techniques (orality / writing)

These cult images are venerated in temples, in private homes and on the streets throughout India. The central idea was to show the iconographic path that these paintings (or photographs) have had in the popular imagination. An informative caption corresponds to each "portrait"

The locality is a historical product and "the stories through which the localities emerge are eventually subject to the dynamics of the global" 9

The triple relationship established between the anthropologist, the world and the \u201cother\u201d reveals the deep interrelation between the three levels of this \u201ccomplex isotopy\u201d. This essay addresses the problem of how a person can interact with another within the ethnographic practice. Ethnographic research doesn\u2019t consist only in dialogues but also in bodily experiences that have a key role in the production of ethnographic representations. Experiential anthropologists believe that we must reflect on the knowledge that is produced, by participating actively in the performances that is being executing, permeating in the field research, physically experiencing it and being able to find in ourselves those meanings otherwise inaccessible

The work of the pupi has the merit of imploding an articulated complex of traditionally formalized competences (from the material to the expressive level) and at the same time reflecting the socio-symbolic values \u200b\u200bon which until recently the Sicilian popular culture was founded. For this reason, in 2001, the title of "Masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity" was recognized by UNESCO. The central role attributed to individuals, communities and groups holding a "tradition" is a new approach to safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. In fact, the UNESCO Program does not limit itself to recognizing the importance of the Intangible Cultural Heritage for the sense of ...

The selected contributions present in fact a popular tone, with a writing accessible to anyone, without particular technicalities

These are puppets representing "giants" (saints or founding heroes), "animals" (camel, snake, horse) and "wild men" or statues of the Crucifix and the Madonna with the articulated arms that are used during the festive rituals in Sicilia. These animated figures represent a unique cultural model that combines play, theater, parties and religion

Therefore, a notion such as that of arti!cation \u2013 \u201cprocess of processes\u201d, according to Heinich and Shapiro \u2013 signals the paradox of the success of art at the time of its deconstruction. In this cultural climate, ethnographic museums reproduce, rework or draw on the languages of contemporary art, making them tools to overcome an essentialist notion of heritage but also to present multivocal interpretations and reflect on the processes that underlie \u201cshowing the dierence\u201d. The \u201cAntonio Pasqualino\u201d International Puppet Museum has followed this path by combining a properly museographic activity with !eld research and the staging of shows, first essentially in continuity with tradition, then also with research and innovation. A museum of perform...

The magazine takes up some of the talks held on the occasion of the permanent Ethnographies of the contemporary seminar, conceived and coordinated by the writer, which is based at the Antonio Pasqualino International Puppet Museum in Palermo. The Permanent Seminar was established on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Association for the Conservation of Popular Traditions, responding to one of the main wishes of its founders: that the Museum could become a place and engine for the promotion of anthropological research and the dissemination of its outcomes. The idea was to o er free space for the voices of young scholars, making a wider audience participate in their investigations and their passionate ethnographic commitment, in a time when few are the places...
