Download or read book Folklore by the Fireside written by Alessandro Falassi and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, social life in rural Tuscany has centered around the veglia, an evening gathering of family and friends at the hearth. Folklore by the Fireside is a thorough and insightful study of this custom—from the tales, riddles, lullabies, and folk prayers performed as the small children are put to bed to the courtship songs and dances later in the evening to the anti-veglia male gossip, card games, and protest songs originating in the tavern. Alessandro Falassi skillfully correlates the veglia to the rites of passage and family values of an agrarian society. Although the impact of mass media and other factors has tended to weaken the tradition, even today Tuscan children are taught to behave and adolescents are guided along the conventional path to adulthood, courtship, and marriage through veglia folklore. This is the first work to deal systematically with Tuscan folklore from a semiotic and structural viewpoint and to examine the veglia as a means of handing down traditional values. It is important not only for its careful, detailed description but also for its rigorous methodology and theoretical richness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " . . . Dundes has produced a work which will be useful to both students and teachers who wish to broaden their understanding of modern folklore." —Center for Southern Folklore Magazine "It is impossible ever to remain unimpressed with [Dundes'] excursuses, however much one may be in disagreement (or not) with his conclusions." —Forum for Modern Language Studies Often controversial, Alan Dundes's scholarship is always provocative, perceptive, and intelligent. His concern here is to assess the material folklorists have so painstakingly amassed and classified, to interpret folklore, and to use folklore to increase our understanding of human nature and culture.

Download or read book Folklore written by Tommaso Braccini and published by Inschibboleth Edizioni. This book was released on 2021-07-01T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folklore, le “conoscenze del popolo”: una parola inglese, moderna, che descrive un fenomeno dalla storia lunghissima. Già gli antichi, infatti, avevano tutto un patrimonio di canti, giochi, indovinelli, scongiuri e magie, favole e spauracchi, proverbi, leggende e fiabe. Era la forma di cultura più accessibile: per molti l’unica, per tutti la prima, quella che in un certo senso ogni bambino apprendeva con il latte materno. E anche se la letteratura elevata tendeva a marginalizzare e ignorare questa dimensione, abbiamo numerose allusioni e frammenti che gettano luce su questo aspetto inedito della Grecia e di Roma. La comparazione con il folklore moderno e contemporaneo, evidenziando i punti di contatto ma anche le differenze, permette di contestualizzarlo e comprenderlo meglio.

Download or read book Ernesto De Martino on Religion written by Dr. Fabrizio M. Ferrari and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernesto de Martino was a major critical thinker in the study of vernacular religions, producing innovative analyses of key concepts such as 'folklore', 'magic' and 'ritual'. His methodology stemmed from his training under the philosopher Benedetto Croce whilst his philosophical approach to anthropology borrowed from Marx and Gramsci. Widely celebrated in continental Europe, de Martino's contribution to the study of religion has not been fully understood in the Anglophone world though some of his works - 'Primitive Magic: the Psychic Powers of Shamans and Sorcerers' and 'The Land of Remorse: a Study of Southern Italian Tarantism' - have been translated. This volume presents a comprehensive overview of de Martino's life and work, the thinkers and theories which informed his writings, his contribution to the study of religions and the potential of his methodology for contemporary scholarship.
