Critical Junctions: Anthropology and History Beyond the Cultural Turn
Critical Junctions: Anthropology and History Beyond the Cultural Turn
The “cultural turn” has been a multifarious and pervasive phenomenon in Western universities and modes of social knowledge since the early 1980s. This volume focuses on the conjunction of two disciplines where both the analytic promises as well as the difficulties involved in the meeting of humanist and social science approaches soon became obvious. Anthropologists and historians have come together here in order to recapture, elaborate, and criti…
South Italian Festivals: A Local History of Ritual and Change
South Italian Festivals is a story and study of socio-economic changes in an Italian mountain town Calvello (Basilicata) over a five-hundred-year period; from traditional society to modernity. Instead of exploring a single festival the book studies a ritual one year cycle of local and ecclesiastical rituals. With the analysis of field research, oral history, iconography, topography, as well as archival sources, Herman Tak reveals an interplay bet…

Wood and Broom Fires Ritual Change in Southern Italy
Festivals with fires are still common in Southern Italy, and many have a long tradition. This continuity is related to their possibility of adaptation. The differences between broom and wood fires in the mountain town Calvello, points to an elder system of protection, which largely faded away with the decline of the agrarian society, after the Second World War. However, change, and even the spread of fire rituals already started from the beginnin…
Longing for Local Identity: Intervillage Relations in an Italian Mountain Area
In the agrarian pastoral society of northwest Tuscany intervillage relations were dominated by campanilismo or local chauvinism. Following the suppression by the Tuscan state of the open use of violence to settle boundary disputes, village communities developed ritual oppositions, making use of collective nicknames, prejudices, and religious symbols and rites to express local identity. The campanilismo complex demonstrates that verbal aggression …
Changing Campanilismo. Localism and the Use of Nicknames in a Tuscan Mountain Village
Campanilismo is a well-known phenomenon in Italy. An important aspect of this parochialism in a Tuscan mountain village is the idea of being more "civilized" compared with the other surrounding villages, as can be seen in the offensive role of collective nicknames. Campanilismo is a boundary mechanism that is connected with the closeness and commitment between villages. It is not a simple mechanism that makes a distinction between insiders and ou…
