From Hegemony to Fragmentation: North American Cultural Anthropology over the Past Fifty Years
From Hegemony to Fragmentation: North American Cultural Anthropology Over the Past Fifty Years
Fata Morgana: Ancora Su Strabismi E Asincronie
Lo scritto intende affrontare alcuni dei nodi teorici suscitati, negli ultimi anni, dai dibattiti sorti intorno a vari interventi di Fabio Dei. In particolare, si argomenta che l’“antropologia critica” individuata in quegli interventi come obiettivo polemico, più che una “invenzione” sia da leggersi come una proiezione, nel campo accademico nazionale, di tensioni teoriche che avevano attraversato le antropologie anglofone nord-americane sul finir…

Confessions of an EV (expert evaluator)
If audit is a socio-political system, any analysis or evaluation of its effects should consider also the specific contexts and the peculiar historical contingencies in which practices associated with it apply. In this comment I try to grasp some consequences these practices can have on the specific academic field of the Italian anthropological sciences
Nostalgia for kinship

Debt, Hegemony and Heterochrony in a Sicilian City
In the 2013 elections, the Sicilian city of Messina voted-in a mayor from the Cambiamo Messina dal Basso (CMDB) movement. Perceived as a Messiah sent to save the city from years of political and economic mismanagement, it soon became clear that it would not be easy for him to negotiate the bureaucracy of the traditional clientelist political establishment. This paper explores how the CMDB movement has come to terms with negotiating bureaucratic a…
Movimenti sociali, politica ed eterocronia in una città siciliana
In questo scritto, attraverso l’analisi di un caso siciliano intendo, da un lato, riflettere intorno ai rapporti tra crisi economico-politica e possibilità di costruzione di pratiche e immaginari politici innovativi; dall’altro vorrei provare ad indagare le complesse contraddizioni che, operando all’interno di una scena politica locale, nazionale e globale disarticolata e conflittuale, hanno interessato un movimento sociale divenuto all’improvvis…
Peut-on résister à la patrimonialisation: Le cas du sud-est de la Sicile
Cet article approche le heritage-scape comme un système taxinomique-institutionnel qui donne un sens global à des sites et des territoires particuliers, contribuant ainsi à un processus de déterritorialisation. En s’appuyant sur une analyse ethnographique du processus systématique de la construction du patrimoine dans le sud-est de la Sicile, cette recherche examine à la fois la construction du lieu en tant que marchandise patrimoniale et actif t…
Émotions patrimoniales
Sur le terrain, le bon ethnographe s'attache à ce qui empêche ses interlocuteurs de dormir tranquilles, à ce qui les passionne, les fait débattre à l'infini, les met en joie ou en larmes, les émeut... En France et en Europe, il y a à peine un demi-siècle que le patrimoine fait pleinement partie de ces causes pour lesquelles individus et collectifs se mettent en mouvement. Le présent ouvrage analyse cette révolution discrète mais profonde. Il la s…
Émotions patrimoniales et passions politiques (Sicile orientale)
« La plaie ouverte a guéri. Le diocèse de Noto a encore une fois sa cathédrale. Le Val di Noto son symbole. Aujourd’hui, le monde nous regarde et nous accueille. Notre renaissance est possible. »(Mediterraneo News, 18 juin 2007.) Trajectoires divergentes En 2000, Denise Bell Hyland et son mari, un couple d’agriculteurs américains, quittent les États-Unis pour l’Italie après qu’un conflit les a opposés à une multinationale du pétrole et amenés à v…
A Baron, Some Guides, and a Few Ephebic Boys: Cultural Intimacy, Sexuality, and Heritage in Sicily
In this article, I will assemble a comparative frame within which to read social practices connected with the construction/production of collective cultural identities in some Sicilian contexts. The case studies I collect refer to different historical periods (some Sicilian guides to 18th and 19th centuries Grand Tour voyagers, a few poor youths interacting with a gay German baron in 19th- and 20th-century Taormina, and two tour "guides" living t…
The War of the Saints: Religion, Politics, and the Poetics of Time in a Sicilian Town
Serge Gruzinski (1996), in an analysis of the Feast of Corpus Domini in the colonial Mexico of the modern era, notices the extreme importance that the protagonists of the events that he studied gave to the tiniest details of the ritual procedure. Because he is interested in understanding the political sense of these and other 'baroque' ceremonial moments, Gruzinski implicitly rejects all functionalist readings and prefers to examine the connectio…
The social life of local museums
Through an ethnographic analysis of the social life of three non-anthropological 'museums' in a town in south-eastern Sicily, the contours of public space and public culture are examined in a political environment marked by deeply rooted political conflicts. Local and provincial 'politics of culture', a largely overlooked dimension in traditional anthropological approaches to politics in Sicily and Italy, are analysed. The article also investigat…

Faire et défaire les « monuments: Traduit de l’italien par Françoise Guicharde
L'auteur propose une lecture ethnographique de certains textes d'histoire locale qui, au cours des quatre derniers siècles, ont décrit les « monuments » de Catalfaro, un centre urbain de l'intérieur de la Sicile du Sud-Est. Son attention porte en particulier sur les églises de S. Nicola-S.S. Salvatore et de S. Maria della Stella, édifices qui, de la moitié du xvie siècle à aujourd'hui, ont été le siège de ces églises, et sur les écrits qui leur o…
