Păpușile din zahăr în culturile Lumii Vechi și ale Lumii Noi
În articol de față, autorul examinează un fenomen curios, dar extrem de puțin cercetat: este vorba despre păpușile comestibile din zahăr, ca element al culturii tradiționale festive, prezent încă din Evul Mediu în regiunea mediteraneană a Lumii Vechi (în Italia (Sicilia), Tunisia, Egipt, Spania și Malta), iar ulterior transferat și în Mexic în timpul Conquistei. Autorul presupune că păpușile din zahăr din toate aceste regiuni sunt interconectate …
Agave and prickly pear in the culture of Sicily
In this article, drawing on her many years of fieldwork on Sicilian traditional culture, the author focuses on the fate of two "objects" of the Columbus Exchange in Sicily - the agave and the prickly pear. The aim of the analysis is not only to explain the acculturation of these two plants in the context of the island region, but also to consider the possible direct contacts of this region with New Spain and the hypothetical participation of Sici…
On the Issue of the Gender Situation in Modern Sicily
One of the important characteristics of any society is its historically established gender role “profile”, traditional gender principles of its management and daily existence, conditioned by traditions, specifics of culture and history of society, which are much less likely than its other social characteristics to come into the focus of researchers’ attention. In this article, using the example of a region such as Sicily, a territory of special c…
Stone, Wood, Metal in the Everyday Usage of Sardinia
The study addresses an aspect of the little-studied "culture of everyday life" in Sardinia, one of the most conservative regions of Europe, which has not been covered in scientific literature: the use of three types of raw materials -stone, wood, and metal. The purpose of the research is to highlight the material aspects of the "existence" of these materials in the paradigm of anthropology (the empiricism of ancient and revived use, etc.), as wel…

On the Issue of the Eastern Segment of the Alimentary Heritage of Sicily
The study addresses one of the most extensive and still vital "offspring" of the medieval acculturation of Sicily - the "eastern segment" of the region's traditional cuisine; fueled by various sources, it was formed under the influence of various historical events. The study aims to reconstruct, through an appeal to food recipes that have not yet been fully studied, medieval ethnocultural contacts in the Mediterranean, which left a mark on the cu…
Historical markets as special spaces of Italy
The article undertakes an anthropological examination of Italian historical markets which are well known but, surprisingly, have been little studied to date. This ancient trade institution has not just survived through the present day, but in fact it has not lost its vitality and still enjoys unusually high popularity among the locals. I attempt to address the aspects of its existence that had not previously been given enough research attention: …
On the Issue of Celebrating the New Year in Italy

The author, resorting to various sources (including her own field materials), makes an attempt not only to recon…
